What it is

Caffeine is a natural stimulant found in coffee beans, tea leaves, and cacao pods. When derived from green coffee beans, it is extracted and purified. This process yields a caffeine powder that can be added to foods and beverages.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add caffeine to foods and beverages to provide a stimulating effect. It is often found in energy bars, coffee-flavored products, and some beverages marketed for energy enhancement.

Health notes

Caffeine is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The FDA has established limits for caffeine added to certain products like gum. JECFA has evaluated caffeine and established an acceptable daily intake. Consuming moderate amounts of caffeine is generally considered safe for most adults, but excessive intake can lead to jitteriness, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. Evidence on long-term health effects is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others indicating risks with very high consumption.

Allergen info

Caffeine itself is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
