What it is

Pressed apple juice is the liquid extracted from apples. It is made by washing, crushing, and pressing whole apples to release their juice. The juice may then be filtered or clarified.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pressed apple juice primarily as a sweetener and flavor ingredient. It is commonly found in beverages like fruit juices, nectars, and sparkling drinks, where it provides a natural sweetness and apple taste.

Health notes

Pressed apple juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. It contains natural sugars, vitamins, and antioxidants found in apples. JECFA has evaluated apple juice and established a standard for its identity and quality. While generally safe, excessive consumption of fruit juices can contribute to high sugar intake.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Apple juice is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens, nor does it contain gluten.
