What it is

Water and concentrated fruit juice is a liquid ingredient made by combining water with concentrated fruit juice. The concentration process removes water from the fruit juice, making it more shelf-stable and easier to transport. It is then rehydrated by adding water.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use water and concentrated fruit juice as a sweetener and flavoring agent in a variety of foods and beverages. It is commonly found in ready-to-drink beverages, fruit-flavored snacks, and some prepared meals.

Health notes

Water and concentrated fruit juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It provides hydration and some vitamins from the fruit juice component. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fruit-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Water and concentrated fruit juice is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
