What it is

Coffee is a brewed drink made from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from the *Coffea* plant. Arabica is a species of coffee known for its aromatic qualities and is one of the most popular types worldwide. The beans are typically roasted to develop their flavor and aroma before being ground and brewed.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use coffee as a flavoring agent and a source of caffeine in a wide variety of food products. It is most commonly found in beverages like coffee drinks, energy drinks, and protein shakes, but can also be used in desserts, baked goods, and confectionery.

Health notes

Coffee is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. The FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for coffee consumption, but moderate intake is generally considered safe for most adults. Caffeine, a natural component of coffee, can have stimulant effects, potentially improving alertness and concentration. However, excessive intake may lead to anxiety, insomnia, or heart palpitations in sensitive individuals. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coffee and caffeine, and have established acceptable daily intakes.

Allergen info

Coffee is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
