What it is

Strawberry variegate is a sweet, fruit-based preparation used to add strawberry flavor and color to foods. It typically contains strawberries, sugar, water, and sometimes fruit pectin or citric acid to achieve the desired texture and tartness. It is often made by cooking down strawberries with sugar and other ingredients until thickened.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add strawberry variegate to provide a distinct strawberry taste and visual appeal to products. Its sweet and fruity profile makes it a popular choice for desserts, particularly ice cream, yogurt, and baked goods. It can also be found in beverages and some confectionery items.

Health notes

Strawberry variegate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is primarily composed of sugar and fruit, and at typical consumption levels, it does not pose significant health concerns. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fruit preparations and sweeteners, generally finding them safe. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical intake of strawberry variegate.

Allergen info

Strawberry variegate is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
