What it is

Mushroom juice concentrate is made from mushrooms that have been processed to remove water, intensifying their natural flavor and nutrients. This process results in a concentrated liquid or paste that retains the savory, umami taste of the original mushrooms.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use mushroom juice concentrate primarily as a flavoring agent to add a rich, savory, umami taste to foods. It is commonly found in frozen dinners, soups, sauces, and vegetarian or vegan products seeking a meaty flavor profile.

Health notes

Mushroom juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural compounds found in mushrooms, which are being studied for various health benefits. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated mushroom extracts, but specific evaluations of 'mushroom juice concentrate' may vary. Evidence on specific health impacts at typical dietary levels is limited, and it is not associated with major health controversies.

Allergen info

Mushrooms are not among the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Mushroom juice concentrate is not derived from any of these major allergens and does not contain gluten.
