CLEANApple with spearmint — the sweetest of the five, at 53.5g sugar per 100g.

Orchard apple with a drizzle of spearmint, coloured and flavoured with real fruit rather than synthetic dye.

Be aware that this is the sweetest of the five: 53.5g total sugar per 100g, against 37.8g for the strawberry. Added sugar still comes back below the lab's limit of quantification, so the sugar is from fruit rather than added — but if you are watching sugar, this is not the flavour to pick. It carries 352 kcal and 14.1g dietary fibre per 100g, with a serving of 8g.

It is still a sweet, and we would rather say that than sell it as a health food.

What to look for in Fruit Gummies?
01

'No refined sugar' is not sugar-free — check total sugar per serving.

02

Confirm the sweetener (fruit juice, dates, or sugar-alcohol).

03

Sugar-alcohols (maltitol/sorbitol) can upset kids' stomachs.

04

Check the gelling agent — pectin (veg) vs gelatin (non-veg).
