Organic Raspberry Flavored Juice Concentrate Blend

Organic Raspberry Flavored Juice Concentrate Blend is a concentrated liquid made from the juice of raspberries and possibly other fruits, processed to remove most of the water. Being 'organic' means that the fruits were grown and processed according to organic farming standards. It is used to provide a strong fruit flavor and natural sweetness.

Manufacturers add this blend primarily for its natural raspberry flavor and as a sweetener. It can also contribute a natural color to foods. It is commonly found in products like salad dressings, beverages, yogurts, and various prepared foods where a fruit essence is desired.

As a food ingredient derived from fruit, organic raspberry flavored juice concentrate blend is generally recognized as safe for consumption. It is regulated by the FDA as a food product, not as a food additive requiring specific approval. It is a source of naturally occurring sugars, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting intake of added sugars. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives and do not usually assess whole food ingredients like fruit juice concentrates.
