Sliced Peaches

Sliced peaches are pieces of the fruit of the peach tree (Prunus persica). They are typically prepared by washing, peeling, pitting, and slicing fresh peaches. They can be sold fresh, canned, frozen, or dried.

Manufacturers use sliced peaches as a fruit component and natural sweetener in various products. They are commonly found in baked goods like pies and pastries, dairy products such as yogurt and ice cream, and fruit salads or canned fruit mixes.

Peaches are a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes peaches as safe (GRAS) when used as a food ingredient. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated peaches and their components. Typical consumption of peaches as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
