WELCH's Mixed Fruit Snacks, 80 Count

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.

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.

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!

At less than half the price of the supermarket why would you get these anywhere else?Welch's intense flavours we all know and love in always fresh lunchtime or anytime snack packs.Makes for a much better afternoon vitamin packed pick me up than a candy bar and soothes the throat tickles of flu season or dry air conditioned offices. If I had to change one thing? The packages are like Fort Knox and hard to open with little or aged hands.

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

Kids love to snack, as do I. I have found these Welch's Fruit Snacks made with real fruit to be delicious and great to have on hand for those before dinner hunger pains, or when we're on the go. Perfect for little hands, just the right sweetness, I will continue to buy over and over.

I bought this interminable supply of fruit snacks to keep in my desk drawer at work. If you've never had Welch's fruit snacks, they're quite flavorful, very natural tasting, and refreshing. They are also very squishy and chewy. They're probably my favorite fruit snack, so the fact that I can buy such a massive supply is exciting. What's less exciting is that everyone will raid your supply once they discover the cache.

If you have the space in your pantry of this box its worth it! My son eats a lot of fruit snacks so I bought this box and ended up being able to fit a piñata with them and have more than half the box left over for my sons eating desires. Its great to buy them in bulk like this since the small boxes at Target can be over $4
