CVS Fruit Slices: One more fruit fraud

CVS Fruit Slices: One more fruit fraud

[ 0 ] January 14, 2012 |

In this upside down world, where we have so much what I call the “fruit fraud” everywhere, when food manufacturers produce something real, they have to explain this by saying something like: “We have made our product with a real fruit, please believe us this time!” Why so? Because otherwise the product will be perceived […]

Fruit2O Natural Grape: One more fruit fraud

[ 1 ] November 15, 2011 |

We read everywhere: zero calorie, sugar free, fat free, gluten free… But what we have to keep in mind is that every time when sugar, fat or gluten are taken out, a designed combination of other food additives is called upon to replace them. These ingredients, sometimes natural, sometimes chemically synthesized, help food scientists make […]

Stated value I feel sorry for the General Mills Sales, Inc., (Minneapolis, USA) who worked so hard trying to market their nasty “fruit fraud” product to our children. Here it is, Fruit Gushers – Mood MorphersTM (Yes… See the CSPI‘s document: Diet, ADHD and Behavior). The label screams: New! The Tongue Tells It All! FRUIT […]

[ 12 ] October 9, 2011 |

No, people, this is NOT a fun at all. I thought Kool-Aid  was the only worst fake fruit beverage on the market. Well, if I was the manufacturer of the Fun Pops I couldn’t sleep at nights bothering by the thoughts of what adverse health effects my beverage might produce on American public, especially on children, the […]

Domestic “food terrorism” Obviously there are two distinct concepts of ‘how to run business’ operate in the American food industry.

Kellogg’s Froot Loops cereal is bragging about how much fiber you get with the product. But this is not all the truth you should know. While DyeDiet reads and translates Ingredient Lists for you I encourage you to read, at least, Nutrition Facts to see how much sugar is in a product before you buy […]

So many fruit snacks designed for children have little or no fruits. Starches, gums and artificial colorants are added instead to mimic fruits and berries that you can see only depicted on the labels. Recently reviewed Fruit Gushers  of General Mills Sales, Inc., is an example of such a kind.  But we have good news! […]

Gummi Bears: Fake Fruits

There is seemingly nothing wrong with eating gelatin-based rubbery-textured sweet gummies. After all, while gelatin  has less nutritional value than many other protein sources, it is still a nutrient, an animal-derived structural protein. But watch out when you read something like this: Naturally and Artificially Flavored; Wild ’n Fruity; 6 Fruity Flavors; Made with Real […]

Starburst: Artificial Fruit Chews

Starburst: Artificial Fruit Chews

[ 6 ] August 11, 2011 |

You can read on the label: cherry, orange, strawberry and lemon; natural and artificial flavors. It sounds fruity, isn’t it? But the question is: if there are natural fruits why to add cheap artificial flavors and questionable (read an article Food Dye Debate Resurfaces) artificial colors?
