Strawberry Pieces

Strawberry pieces are small pieces of real strawberries, which can be fresh, frozen, or dried. They are often used to add a natural strawberry flavor and texture to food products. The pieces can be whole, sliced, or diced, depending on the intended use.

Manufacturers add strawberry pieces to provide a natural fruit flavor, color, and texture. They are commonly found in cereals, granola bars, yogurt, baked goods, and confectionery. The pieces can also contribute to the overall sweetness and visual appeal of a product.

Strawberry pieces are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a natural source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated strawberries and their components, generally considering them safe for consumption. At typical intake levels found in food products, they pose no known health risks.
