What it is

Sea clam juice is the liquid extracted from clams. It is typically made by steaming or boiling clams and collecting the liquid that is released. This liquid captures the natural flavor and essence of the clam.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sea clam juice to foods to impart a natural seafood flavor, especially in broths, chowders, and sauces. It is often used in seafood-based soups, appetizers, and frozen entrees to enhance the overall taste profile.

Health notes

Sea clam juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a natural source of minerals and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated clam products, but specific evaluations for clam juice are not widely documented. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Sea clam juice is derived from shellfish, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Therefore, it is considered a shellfish allergen.
