Water And Grape Juice Concentrate

This ingredient is a blend of water and concentrated grape juice. Grape juice concentrate is made by removing water from grape juice, making it more shelf-stable and easier to transport. It's often made from Concord grapes, known for their distinct flavor.

Manufacturers use this blend primarily as a sweetener and flavoring agent in food products. The concentrated grape juice provides natural sweetness and the characteristic taste of grapes. It is commonly found in jams, jellies, fruit spreads, and some beverages.

Water is essential for life and has no known adverse health effects at typical intake levels. Grape juice concentrate contains natural sugars and is a source of some nutrients. Regulatory bodies like the FDA consider water safe for consumption. JECFA has evaluated grape juice and related products, establishing guidelines for their use. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming water and grape juice concentrate in typical amounts found in food.
