What it is

Mandarin orange juice concentrate is made by removing water from mandarin orange juice. This process intensifies the natural flavor and color of the oranges. It is used to add a concentrated citrus taste and aroma to foods and beverages.

Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fruit-derived ingredients. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
