Health notes
Organic grape must is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a natural source of sugars and antioxidants found in grapes. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated grape-derived products, but specific evaluations for organic grape must as an isolated ingredient may vary. Evidence on the health benefits of grape-derived compounds is ongoing, with typical dietary intake considered safe.
