What it is

Pumpkin juice concentrate is made from pumpkins, a type of squash. The juice is extracted from the pumpkin and then concentrated, usually by removing water through evaporation, to create a more intense flavor and color.

Manufacturers use pumpkin juice concentrate to add a natural pumpkin flavor, color, and sweetness to foods. It is commonly found in dairy products like ice cream and frozen yogurt, baked goods, and fruit-based snacks and beverages.

Health notes

International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar food ingredients, but specific evaluations for pumpkin juice concentrate are not widely published. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
