Mixed Fruit Snacks

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Welch's Mixed Fruit Snacks scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 0g fiber, 1g protein and 10g sugar. 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.

Welch's Mixed Fruit Snacks lists 25 ingredients, starting with Fruit, Grape, Peach, Orange and Strawberry. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

70 kcal per serving, or 308 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Welch's Mixed Fruit Snacks on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Welch's Mixed Fruit Snacks scores worse than most snacks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in snacks is Mary's Gone Crackers Organic SuperSeed Seaweed & Black Sesame Crackers at 100/100.
