Lime Juice Concentrate & Natural Flavor

Lime juice concentrate is made by removing water from lime juice, intensifying its flavor and aroma. Natural flavors are complex mixtures derived from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, or spices, used to enhance or impart specific tastes to food.

These ingredients are added to foods to provide a bright, fresh citrus taste and aroma. They are commonly found in beverages, desserts, sauces, marinades, and savory dishes where a lime flavor is desired.

Lime juice concentrate and natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended use in food. They are not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in amounts found in packaged foods. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various flavorings and flavor enhancers, but specific evaluations for this particular combination are not widely publicized. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at typical consumption levels.
