Water And Concentrated Juices Of Apples

This ingredient is a blend of water and concentrated fruit juices, primarily from apples. The concentration process removes water from the juice, intensifying its flavor and sweetness. It is then rehydrated with water to achieve the desired consistency and taste.

Manufacturers use this blend to provide natural sweetness, flavor, and color in beverages like fruit juices, nectars, and flavored drinks. It helps create a more authentic fruit taste and can contribute to the overall liquid volume of the product.

Water and concentrated fruit juices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. While a source of natural sugars, moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is not typically associated with adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar juice concentrates. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at typical intake levels.
