Strawberry Juice

Strawberry juice is the liquid extracted from strawberries. It is made by crushing or pressing ripe strawberries to release their natural juices, which are then typically filtered to remove solids. The resulting liquid captures the sweet, slightly tart flavor and red color of the fruit.

Manufacturers use strawberry juice primarily as a natural flavoring and coloring agent in foods. It adds a distinct strawberry taste and a vibrant red hue to products. It is commonly found in jams, jellies, fruit spreads, candies, beverages like juices and nectars, and desserts.

Strawberry juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated fruit juices, and while they have not set specific limits for strawberry juice, they consider it safe in typical dietary amounts. No significant health concerns are associated with consuming strawberry juice in moderation.
