Organic Grape Juice Concentrate Extract

Organic grape juice concentrate extract is made from organic grapes. The grapes are pressed to extract their juice, which is then concentrated by removing water. This process intensifies the flavor and color of the grape juice.

Manufacturers use this extract primarily as a natural sweetener and coloring agent. It adds a distinct grape flavor and a purple or red hue to foods. It is commonly found in snack bars, fruit snacks, and beverages.

In the US, organic grape juice concentrate extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of natural sugars and antioxidants found in grapes. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated grape juice and its derivatives, but specific evaluations for the extract's health effects at typical consumption levels are limited. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects at normal intake levels.
