Organic Fair Trade Coffee Extract

Coffee extract is a concentrated liquid made from roasted coffee beans. It is produced by extracting the soluble compounds from coffee grounds using water or other solvents. The resulting liquid is then often concentrated to create a more potent flavor.

Manufacturers use coffee extract to add a strong coffee flavor to foods and beverages without using brewed coffee. It is commonly found in dairy products like milk and ice cream, as well as in juices, energy drinks, and baked goods. Its concentrated form allows for a consistent coffee taste in a variety of products.

Coffee extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring agent. The FDA has not established specific regulations for its use beyond its GRAS status. Major international food safety bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coffee and caffeine, but specific evaluations for coffee extract may vary. Typical consumption of coffee extract in foods is unlikely to cause adverse health effects.
