Natural Blueberry Extract

Natural blueberry extract is a concentrated liquid derived from blueberries. It captures the flavor, color, and aroma of the fruit through processes like solvent extraction or distillation.

Manufacturers use natural blueberry extract to impart a distinct blueberry flavor and color to foods. It is commonly found in salad dressings, mayonnaise, snack bars, and other snack foods where a fruity note is desired.

Natural blueberry extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in amounts found in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many natural extracts, but specific evaluations for this particular extract may vary. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at typical consumption levels.
