Health notes

Orange carrot juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A, important for vision and immune function. While generally safe, excessive consumption of beta-carotene from juices can temporarily turn the skin a yellowish-orange color (carotenemia), which is harmless. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated carrot juice as part of broader assessments of fruit and vegetable juices.
