Mixed Fruit Juice Concentrate

Mixed fruit juice concentrate is made by removing water from a blend of fruit juices. This process concentrates the natural sugars, flavors, and colors of the fruits. It is often made from juices like apple, grape, pear, and berry.

Manufacturers use mixed fruit juice concentrate primarily as a natural sweetener and flavoring agent. It adds a fruity taste and sweetness to products like candies, cereals, baked goods, and beverages. Its concentrated form also makes it a cost-effective way to add fruit flavor.

Mixed fruit juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, and like all concentrated sugars, excessive intake can contribute to caloric intake. International bodies like JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) have evaluated similar fruit concentrates, but specific evaluations for this exact blend may vary. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
