Red Grape Juice

Red grape juice is the liquid extracted from the flesh and skins of red or purple grapes. It is made by crushing grapes and then pressing them to release their juice. The juice can be pasteurized and filtered for clarity and shelf stability.

Manufacturers use red grape juice primarily as a natural coloring agent and flavor enhancer in food products. It is commonly found in beverages like juice cocktails and flavored drinks, as well as in jams, jellies, and fruit spreads.

Red grape juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. It contains natural sugars and antioxidants, such as resveratrol, which have been studied for potential health benefits. JECFA has evaluated grape juice and its components. Evidence regarding specific health outcomes from consuming red grape juice is still being researched, and it is not considered a cure or cause of any disease.
