What it is
Organic carrot juice is made from carrots grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The carrots are washed, chopped, and then pressed or blended to extract their juice. The juice may be pasteurized for shelf stability.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic carrot juice primarily as a natural source of color, providing an orange hue. It also contributes a mild, sweet flavor. It's commonly found in beverages like juices and nectars, as well as in yogurt and rice dishes.
Health notes
Organic 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. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated carrot juice and its components. Consuming large amounts of carrot juice can lead to carotenemia, a harmless orange discoloration of the skin, due to high beta-carotene intake.
Allergen info
Carrot juice is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
