Last updated: April 2026 dataHeat-cooked and homogenized fruit preparations — such as smooth fruit purées, baby-food fruit pastes, and industrial fruit bases — are distinguished from raw or minimally processed fruit products by both the cooking step and the mechanical reduction to a uniform texture. FDA regulates these as processed food products, requiring prior notice and compliance with 21 CFR standards for fruit-based foods, including Brix levels and added-ingredient declarations. The cooking process affects sugar concentration and pH, both of which are relevant to classification when distinguishing these preparations from jams, jellies, or fruit juices. Importers sourcing cooked fruit purées for infant-food applications face additional scrutiny around heavy-metal testing and labeling.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The key differentiators are sugar content, texture, and intended use. Jams and preserves typically have a defined minimum soluble-solids (Brix) level and a gelled or chunky texture, while homogenized cooked fruit preparations are smooth purées that may have lower sugar additions and are often used as food-manufacturing inputs or infant foods. A licensed customs broker can help determine the correct heading based on the product's Brix, ingredient list, and processing method.
Yes. Fruit purées destined for infant-food formulations are subject to heightened FDA scrutiny, including compliance with action levels for heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and cadmium. Importers should obtain certificates of analysis from the foreign manufacturer and be prepared to provide them during FDA admissibility review. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered food importer for current guidance on infant-food entry requirements.
