Organic Grape Puree Concentrate

Organic grape puree concentrate is a food ingredient made from organic grapes. The grapes are first pureed, and then much of the water is removed through a concentration process. This results in a thick, sweet product that retains the flavor and some nutrients of the original fruit.

Manufacturers add organic grape puree concentrate to foods primarily for its natural sweetness and grape flavor. It is often used in fruit-based snacks, beverages, yogurts, and desserts. It can also contribute to the texture and color of food products.

As a concentrated fruit product, organic grape puree concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. It contributes natural sugars, and if used primarily for sweetness, it can contribute to the overall added sugar content of a product. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. There are no specific health controversies associated with organic grape puree concentrate itself, and it has not been evaluated by JECFA or EFSA as a food additive.
