What it is
Organic carrot concentrate is a natural food coloring derived from carrots. It is made by extracting and concentrating the pigments (carotenoids) from organically grown carrots, resulting in a vibrant orange-red liquid or powder.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic carrot concentrate primarily as a natural colorant to impart an orange or red hue to foods. It is commonly found in candies, fruit-flavored snacks, beverages, and sometimes in soups or broths where a specific color is desired.
Health notes
Organic carrot concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food coloring. The pigments it contains, carotenoids, are also found in carrots and are known for their antioxidant properties. International bodies like EFSA and JECFA have evaluated carotenoids and related compounds, generally considering them safe for consumption. No significant health concerns are associated with its use at typical levels in food.
Allergen info
Organic carrot concentrate is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
