Organic Fruit Juice Concentrates

Organic fruit juice concentrates are made by removing water from fruit juice. This process intensifies the natural flavor and color of the fruit. The resulting concentrate is then typically reconstituted with water to create the final juice product.

Manufacturers use organic fruit juice concentrates primarily as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. They also contribute to the color of food products. They are commonly found in fruit juices, fruit drinks, jams, jellies, and wholesome snack bars.

Organic fruit juice concentrates are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of natural sugars and can contribute to overall sugar intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fruit-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
