Rose: Organic Black Carrot Juice Concentrate

Black carrot juice concentrate is a natural food coloring derived from black carrots. The juice is extracted from the carrots and then concentrated to create a more potent coloring agent. It is often labeled as 'organic' when derived from organically grown black carrots.

Manufacturers use black carrot juice concentrate primarily as a natural red or purple food coloring. It provides vibrant hues in various food products, especially in confectionery like candies and gummies. It can also be found in beverages and dairy products.

Black carrot juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food coloring. It is a source of anthocyanins, which are antioxidants found in many fruits and vegetables. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated anthocyanins and found them to be safe. There is no evidence to suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods colored with black carrot juice concentrate at typical intake levels.
