What it is

Ocean clam juice is the liquid extracted from clams. It is typically made by steaming or boiling clams and collecting the natural juices released during the process. This liquid is then filtered and often pasteurized.

Why it's used

Clam juice is primarily used to add a savory, seafood flavor to foods. Manufacturers add it to enhance the taste of soups, chowders, sauces, and seafood dishes. It can also contribute a subtle brininess and umami.

Health notes

Ocean clam juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. It is not typically associated with significant health concerns when consumed in amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated clam products, but specific evaluations for clam juice alone may vary. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Ocean clam juice is derived from shellfish, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Individuals with shellfish allergies should avoid products containing clam juice.
