Why it's used
Manufacturers use kale juice concentrate to add a natural green color and a vegetable flavor to foods. It is often found in beverages like fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, and wholesome snacks.
Health notes
Kale is a nutrient-dense vegetable. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes kale and its derivatives as safe (GRAS) when used as food ingredients. International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for kale juice concentrate are not widely publicized. Consuming kale in typical food amounts is generally considered safe and may contribute to a healthy diet.
Allergen info
Kale is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA, nor does it contain gluten.
