Plum Juice From Concentrate

Plum juice from concentrate is made from plums that have had most of their water removed to create a concentrated liquid. This concentrate is then reconstituted by adding water back to it. It is used to provide plum flavor and color in various food products.

Plum juice from concentrate is used as a flavoring and coloring agent in foods and beverages. Manufacturers often add it to fruit juices, nectars, and drinks to enhance the fruity taste and appearance. It can also be found in condiments like ketchup and mustard, as well as in ice cream and frozen yogurt.

Plum juice from concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains natural sugars and nutrients found in plums, such as vitamin K and fiber, though processing may reduce some nutrient levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated plum juice, and it is considered safe when consumed in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet. No significant health controversies are associated with its use at normal levels.
