Organic Mandarin-lemon Juice

Organic Mandarin-lemon juice is a blend of juice from organic mandarins and lemons. These citrus fruits are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The juice is typically extracted by pressing the fruit.

Manufacturers add organic mandarin-lemon juice primarily for its tart and sweet flavor. It can also contribute to the acidity of a product. It is often found in dried fruit snacks, beverages, and some baked goods.

Organic mandarin-lemon juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and other nutrients found naturally in citrus fruits. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated citric acid, a component of citrus juice, and found it to be safe. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming moderate amounts of citrus juice.
