Organic Vegetable Juice

Organic vegetable juice is made from a blend of one or more organic vegetables, such as carrots, tomatoes, spinach, and celery. The vegetables are washed, chopped, and then pressed or blended to extract their juice. The juice may be pasteurized for safety and shelf stability.

Manufacturers use organic vegetable juice primarily as a flavoring and coloring agent in beverages, soups, and sauces. It adds a natural vegetable taste and can contribute to the color of the final product, especially in juices and broths.

Organic vegetable juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It provides vitamins and minerals naturally found in vegetables. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar vegetable juice products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming vegetable juice in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet.
