Truly Tropical Blend Fruit & Veggie Melts

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Gerber Truly Tropical Blend Fruit & Veggie Melts scores 67/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Gerber Truly Tropical Blend Fruit & Veggie Melts lists 19 ingredients, starting with Butternut Squash Puree, Apple Puree, Banana Puree, White Grape Juice and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 67/100 Gerber Truly Tropical Blend Fruit & Veggie Melts lands mid-scale — below the typical score in baby & toddler snacks, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in baby & toddler snacks is Amara Organic Yogurt Smoothie Melts Mango Carrot at 100/100.
