Fruit snack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fruit snack is a processed snack food made from fruit, sugar, and/or other natural and artificial flavors and colors. Many fruit snacks are high in vitamin C. They tend to be more healthy than candy but less healthy than actual fruit. Fruit snacks are often packed in lunches for children to bring to school. Some fruit snacks do not contain added sugars, preservatives, or high fructose corn syrup; these are best for children.
Fruit snacks are often gelatinous or sticky in consistency. Foods which are sticky and sugary promote a high degree of tooth decay when proper oral hygiene is not followed.[1]
