Pineapple juice from concentrate

Pineapple juice from concentrate is made from pineapples that have been processed to remove most of their water content, creating a concentrated liquid. This concentrate is then rehydrated with water to produce the final juice. It is a common ingredient in beverages and other food products.

Manufacturers use pineapple juice from concentrate primarily as a flavouring agent, adding a sweet and tropical taste to products. It can also contribute natural sugars, acting as a sweetener. It is frequently found in fruit-based drinks, smoothies, desserts, and sauces.

Pineapple juice from concentrate is not considered a food additive and does not have an E-number. It is a source of natural sugars, and the NHS advises limiting intake of free sugars, which should not exceed 5% of total dietary energy. Like all fruit juices, it contains natural vitamins and minerals. EFSA has evaluated the safety of fruit juices and their components.
