Vegetables And Vegetable Juice Concentrate

Vegetables and vegetable juice concentrate is a blend of concentrated vegetable juices and sometimes dehydrated vegetable powders. These ingredients are derived from various vegetables and are processed to remove water, intensifying their flavor and color.

Manufacturers use it to add natural vegetable flavor, color, and a savory taste to foods. It is commonly found in seasoning mixes, broths, soups, gravies, and marinades, where it enhances the overall vegetable profile of the product.

In the U.S., vegetables and vegetable juice concentrate are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. These ingredients are typically consumed in small amounts as part of a varied diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar vegetable-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
