Lunchbox Perfect Welch's Mixed Fruit Snacks (0.9 oz., 66 pk.)fds

I've never been much of a fruit eater but I bought these in order to change the way I eat. I decided I would eat one of these (less than) one ounce packages of fat free fruit snacks in place of chocolates or other fatty, sugary snack. These are very tasty and if they had not been my quest to change my eating habits would not have worked because I would not have made myself eat them. But, eat them I did and in a 6 week period of eating Welch's fruit snacks instead of chocolates and such, I've lost 14 pounds. I am thrilled. I do not consider myself to be on a diet, rather I have changed the way I eat to include these on a regular basis and only have chocolates and other desserts on rare occasions. I believe this is called a "life style" change. I did try the Kellogg's fruit snacks which appear to be similar to the Welch's. They are not. I was very disappointed in the lack of taste. Welch's has a nice rich taste to each little bite in such a way that I can clearly taste what each piece is supposed to taste like, ie strawberry, grape, etc. Buy some. They are better than you think.

These snacks have real fruit and are soft. Somebody asked about ingredients: Although fruit juice is the first ingredient, they do contain corn syrup, sugar, modified corn starch, fruit purees, gelatin, citric acid, lactic acid, natural art. flavors, vitamins, sodium citrate, coconut oil, carnauba wax, red 40, yellow 5 and blue1. This is our substitute with the loss of the 100% natural Trader Joe's Fruit snack several years ago. I found this product in my research about a year ago. They are not perfect, but what call a fun food when we travel or sometimes in the lunches.

I love these fruit snacks! My duaghter loves them as well, but I wasn't expecting to like them. They have a great texture, chewy but soft. And they have great fruit flavors including: orange, three types of berries, and peach. They are very nutritious, since they are made from real fruit! They are also fat free and have no preservatives! The 80 pouch box has lasted over a month, with somebody reaching into the box every day. The individual pouches are on the small side, my daughter prefers to have two of them occassionally. I wish the box had a punch out front tray, that would enable easier access of the pouches, similar to a display in a store. Also, the combination of fruits in each pouch aren't even, with most pouches having alot of the peach & strawberry variety, and less of the other flavors. But this not a deal killer by any means!

First of all, I want to point out that every single child I know- absolutely loves these things. I have no idea what makes them so friendly to a kid's pallet, but they go nuts over them. I also love that they're made with real fruit- gotta love Welch's! But before I go into extensive detail about how truly awesome these treats are, I want to explain why this is a 4 star review- not a 5 star. These fruit snacks are advertised to be relatively healthy. And although one of the first ingredients is 'fruit puree', many of the other ingredients include artifical coloring and corn syrup. Now, don't get me wrong- I love corn syrup! But it is an ingredient I'm not too keen on seeing in snacks. Gellatin is also present. Once again not a terrible ingredient, but not the healthiest either. Basically, when I saw 'Welch's' and 'Real Fruit' I thought- wow, these are great! But when I looked more closely at what they were made out of I realized that was a bit misleading. So, now that I got that out of the way- the positives! This box has 80 packages! For a camp counselor this is great! Each package has a small serving, but for an afternoon snack it's about the right size. Each package has a different variety. There are flavors ranging from orange to raspberry to strawberry to lemon to grape. Each one has a slightly different flavor- but they're all pretty yummy. The packages are easy to open. Each one has a little slit so even the smallest kids can pull and open it (although most toddlers still need a helping hand). These snacks are super age friendly! From two year olds to twelve year olds- every child loves these snacks. They're great for on the go, because they're not messy and they're bite sized. For little ones one package will keep them busy for ten minutes or so. You don't have to worry about dirty fingers or spills. A win win for any mother of young children. They're great for picnics, car rides, vacations, and even rainy days around the house. This bulk box is well worth the price. I think it's a great value, and the kids can't get enough of em'. I love Welch's, and these fruit snacks are just one more great product they've created for youthful tastebuds.

I ordered these and they came from Orksel. I paid about $20 for the order. There were about 6 pictures of the item, which was a large box, which was supposed to contain mini bags of snacks, perfect for packing lunches for my daughter, who is a Kindergartener, and who loves these snacks normally because they are very healthy, and are nut free. (She suffers from a very severe and life threatening food allergy to nuts.) However, these were not in a box, and there was on expiration dates on the tiny packages that had been mashed together in some clear plastic wrapping. The snacks were all rock hard. Every single package that I felt. I tried to eat some, and my daughter and I just spit them out. They are not fresh. It honestly seems as though this Orksel seller is intentionally removing them from the packaging, which shows the freshness and expiration dates. I am going to contact Welch's and let them know that this vendor is selling their products and give them the codes off of the tiny packages, which are not supposed to be removed from the advertised box before sale. Welch's is a great product. And, I would like to think that this Orksel company would like to be aware of what is happening with their orders. I also would like to think that Amazon would like to be aware as well. This is a food quality issue. I must add though that I buy many, many hundreds of dollars of grocery items here on Amazon and 99 percent of the time, the items arrive in excellent condition, and I am so very thankful that Amazon is continuing to expand their selection of grocery items for mothers like myself who must pack lunches, snacks, and drinks for their children who have food allergies. This is a huge help for me. Thank you Amazon, and I truly hope that this company sorts out their quality control problem. Perhaps they had too much in stock, which sat on shelves, and expired. Because many of the items received great reviews, then suddenly tons of reviews start popping up exactly with the same problem I had. I called Amazon customer service (which actually means that their automated system called me) and they are going to email the vendor and request a partial or a full refund. Thank you, Busy Mom in TN

These fruit snacks are awesome. I'm a big fan of PBJ and these snacks take them to a new level. Being on WW, I eat so much a day, using a point system. These fruit snacks taste awesome and fresh and I'd recommend them to anyone who enjoys PBJ w/o all the calories. Try them, please, well worth the money.

These are made of a delicious fruit like flavoring developed in America's finest laboratories. When I opened the box initially I expected gorgeous and supple items of fruit to fall from the sky as depicted upon the front of the container -- in fact I had put on an XXXL white t-shirt and held out the long bottom of it like a giant apron with which to catch the fruits that would certainly fall to me from the sky when I opened the box. I knew in answer to my heart's desire that plumb blueberries and juicy quarters of oranges and rich illicit strawberry and the siren call of the grape would be mine in due time. Alas, it was not to me but instead miniature chews were trapped inside of miniature little bags -- perhaps these were the backpacks of elves that had been misplaced. In any event they were delicious in a laboratory sense and I enjoyed them nonetheless.

My grandson got me addicted to this treat when he was 5 yrs old. He is now nearly 18, and always heads to my snack cup board when he visits, then chats with me while going thru several packages! I love the softness and taste of the Mixed Fruit flavor the best, every single night! I finally got smart and ordered the extra large box from Amazon instead of the smaller box from my grocery store. Last longer and cheaper too!

Kids love these. Usually buy from Costco.

As advertised, and delivered on time. Very pleased
