What it is

Morello cherries are a natural food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used in food. They contain antioxidants and vitamins, though specific health benefits are associated with a balanced diet.

Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical consumption levels.
