What it is
Strawberry sauce is a sweet preparation made primarily from strawberries, often cooked with sugar and sometimes thickened. It can also include water, lemon juice, and other flavorings to enhance its taste and texture.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add strawberry sauce to provide a sweet, fruity flavor and a vibrant red color to various food products. It is commonly used in desserts like ice cream, yogurt, and pastries, but can also be found in savory applications like glazes for meats.
Health notes
Strawberry sauce is a food preparation, not a single food additive, so it is not subject to FDA approval as an additive. Its health implications are primarily related to its sugar content. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA and EFSA do not evaluate composite food preparations like strawberry sauce.
Allergen info
Strawberries are not among the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. However, some strawberry sauces may contain other ingredients that are allergens, such as dairy or thickeners derived from wheat.
