The Following: Concentrated Apple Juice

Concentrated apple juice is made by removing most of the water from apple juice. This process intensifies the natural sugars and flavors of the apples. It is a natural product derived directly from apples.

Manufacturers use concentrated apple juice primarily as a natural sweetener in foods. It can also add a subtle apple flavor. It is commonly found in snack bars, granola bars, and some baked goods.

Concentrated apple juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, and like other sugars, excessive intake can contribute to calorie intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many fruit juices and concentrates, generally finding them safe when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. No specific regulatory limits are set for concentrated apple juice itself beyond general food safety regulations.
