What it is
Pasteurized apple juice from concentrate is made from apples that have been pressed to extract their juice. This juice is then concentrated by removing water, and later, water is added back before pasteurization. Pasteurization heats the juice to kill harmful microbes, extending its shelf life.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use pasteurized apple juice from concentrate primarily as a flavor ingredient and sweetener in beverages like fruit drinks and smoothies. It can also add natural sweetness and fruit flavor to baked goods, sauces, and confectioneries.
Health notes
Pasteurized apple juice from concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of natural sugars and some vitamins. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. Evidence does not link typical consumption to adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. It is derived from apples, which are not among the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also gluten-free.
