What it is

Vegetable and fruit juice concentrates are made by removing most of the water from fruit or vegetable juices. This process intensifies the natural color, flavor, and nutrients of the original produce. The resulting concentrated liquid or paste is easier to transport and store than the fresh juice.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use these concentrates to add natural color and flavor to a wide variety of food and beverage products. They are commonly found in juices, nectars, fruit drinks, smoothies, and sometimes in baked goods or dairy products like ice cream to provide fruit characteristics.

Health notes

In the US, vegetable and fruit juice concentrates are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of vitamins and minerals naturally present in the fruits and vegetables from which they are derived. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit and vegetable preparations. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Vegetable and fruit juice concentrates are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
