Good, though cheaper at Costco Mar 09, 2010
By USF1
It's a good product and rather useful, but if you are near a BJ's, Sam's Club or Costco, I would recommend buying from them as it's less than half the price that Amazon charges (average of $10.49).

Great product. I buy this 80-pack on a regular basis at Costco for under $10.00, which is a much better deal!

One of my faves Aug 07, 2011
By Spudman
Welch's Fruit snacks appear to be a healthy, nutritious snack food for children and adults alike. They're made by Welch's, a company in the fruit juice business since 1869, and on the colorfully designed packages brimming with pictures of luscious fruit, we see that this wonderful snack is made with "REAL FRUIT", and no preservatives. Each 2.5 ounce package contains 100% of the daily vitamin C requirement, 25 % of vitamin A, and 25% of Vitamin E. Try to top that Snickers or Three Musketeers!
I've been enjoying this delicious snack for years and never grow tired of them. My two favorite flavors might be concord grape and mixed fruit; I don't have a least favorite. In my last bag of mixed fruit I observed mostly red pieces with a few orange and only one concord grape piece. The different flavored snacks are colored and shaped differently, many with pebbly texture on top to simulate berries. They are soft and chewy, but not overly so. Their sweetness is satisfyingly pleasing but not as intense as one might experience with a piece of candy. The tastes vary with the flavors, but in the bag of mixed fruit one doesn't distinguish distinctive flavors.
I've always thought of the Welch's Fruit Snacks as a guilt free treat, like eating a piece of fruit. Well, that's not quite true. The first ingredient, you'll notice, is fruit juice, not real fruit, followed by corn syrup and sugar. The fruit part, actually a fruit puree, follows the sweeteners and the modified corn starch. Also in these fruit snacks are artificial colorings like red #40, yellow #5, and blue #1. Some of these colors can trigger hyperactivity in children. Yellow 5 use to set my daughter off like caffeine.
The Welch's Fruit Snacks are not sticky to the touch like some other fruit based snacks. At work I sometimes share a bag or two with students who universally enjoy them as much as I do.
Overall this is a good, nutritious snack, maybe a bit heavy handed with the sweeteners. I like the ingredient list better than that of other similar snacks such as Fruit Roll-ups. For what it's worth, Fruit Roll-ups have 373 calories per 100 grams of snack. Welch's Fruit Snacks have 325 calories per 100 grams.

Healthy Fruit Snack Nov 17, 2009
By ' Groovin' guy

These are the candies I passed out for Halloween.
Fruit juice is listed as a main ingredient, but they do contain coconut oil, which is not as healthy as other vegetable oils like corn oil.
There a several gummy bear type candies in each packet and eighty packets per bag. They taste very good and very sweet. I just wish they used a better oil.
The children were happy. I think the price is right and they are probably better tasting and healthier than most candies and gummy bears.

Not very big but rather "fun size" packets Nov 04, 2010
By Deborah K. Dobbins
"~Triple D~"
The quality of the product was superb. The snacks themselves are very tastey, soft, and chewey in a variety of fruit flavors. I don't want my following comments to reflect negatively on the great flavor and quality of the gummies.
That being said..... the size of these pouches is VERY SMALL. There are about 8-10 gummy pieces in each pouch. This is by no means a "snack" and is very much like what you would give to a trick or treater I also compare the portioning of the pouches to a snickers "fun size" candy bar. "Fun size" candy is usually a tiny piece of the product and is not really a true "portion". (And for that matter, what's so "fun" about less candy???) If you want to hand these "pouches" out as trick or treat items, they are well suited for that. If you want a REAL SNACK to tide you over until dinner, grab about 3-4 of the pouches and take them with you.
