What it is
Pineapple in pineapple juice is a canned or jarred fruit product. Fresh pineapple is peeled, cored, sliced or diced, and packed into cans or jars. It is then covered with pineapple juice, which is extracted from the fruit itself.
Why it's used

Health notes
Pineapple is a fruit and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It contains vitamins, minerals, and fiber. While generally safe, excessive consumption of canned fruit in juice may contribute to higher sugar intake. JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) has evaluated pineapple and its preparations.
