What it is
Peaches in syrup are a processed fruit product consisting of peeled, pitted, and sliced peaches packed in a sugar solution. The peaches are typically heat-processed, such as canning or jarring, to preserve them.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add peaches in syrup to products for their sweet flavor, soft texture, and fruit content. They are commonly found in desserts, baked goods like muffins and pastries, and fruit-based salsas.
Health notes
Peaches are a fruit, and sugar is a widely used food ingredient. The primary health consideration for peaches in syrup is the added sugar content from the syrup. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. The FDA considers peaches and sugar as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) or approved food ingredients. No specific regulatory body sets an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for a composite food product like "peaches in syrup."
