What it is
Fruit refers to the sweet, fleshy, edible parts of a plant that typically contain seeds. It is harvested from various plants and can be consumed fresh or processed for use in food products. Common examples include berries, apples, bananas, and mangoes.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add fruit to products primarily for its natural flavor, sweetness, and texture. It also contributes vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Fruit is widely used in yogurts, desserts, breakfast cereals, beverages, and as a component in many savory dishes and snacks.
Health notes
As a whole food, fruit is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a natural source of essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, contributing to a balanced diet. Neither JECFA nor EFSA typically evaluate whole, unprocessed fruit as a food additive. There are no notable controversies regarding the safety of fruit itself when consumed as part of a regular diet.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. While some individuals may have specific fruit allergies, "fruit" as a general category is not among the 9 FDA major allergens.
