What it is
The term "Not Less Than 31% Soluble Solids" is a measurement, not a specific ingredient. It means that a food product or ingredient contains at least 31% of dissolved substances by weight. These dissolved substances can be sugars, acids, salts, and other compounds, and this measurement is often called Brix.
Why it's used
Food makers use this measurement to make sure ingredients like fruit juice concentrates, tomato paste, or syrups are consistent in quality and concentration. It helps standardize products, which affects their taste, texture, and how long they last. It's not something added to food for a specific purpose, but rather a description of another ingredient.
Health notes
Because "Not Less Than 31% Soluble Solids" is a measurement and not a chemical ingredient, it doesn't have direct health effects or a regulatory status on its own. Any health impacts would depend on what specific substances make up the soluble solids (for example, sugars or minerals). Food safety groups like the FDA, JECFA, or EFSA do not evaluate "soluble solids" as a food additive or ingredient.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen, as it is a descriptive measurement of concentration, not a substance derived from a known allergen.
