Organic Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate

Organic Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate is a highly concentrated liquid made from organic coffee beans. It is produced by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period, typically 12-24 hours, which extracts flavor and caffeine without the bitterness associated with hot brewing.

Manufacturers use this ingredient to impart a strong coffee flavor and caffeine to a variety of food products. It is commonly found in beverages like ready-to-drink coffee, coffee-flavored desserts such as cakes and cupcakes, and even some snack items.

Coffee, and therefore its concentrate, contains caffeine, a stimulant. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes coffee as safe (GRAS) for consumption. While JECFA and EFSA have evaluated caffeine, they have not set a specific numerical acceptable daily intake (ADI) for coffee itself. Typical consumption of coffee concentrate in foods is unlikely to lead to adverse health effects for most adults, though excessive caffeine intake can cause jitteriness, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.
