Total Sugars

There are 10 grams of total sugars, including 8 grams of added sugars.

Added sugars are a nutrient to get less of.

U.S. Food & Drug Administration
Added Sugars

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which manages the MyPlate program aimed at educating Americans about healthy eating, states the importance of cutting back on Added Sugars.

A key reason for encouraging Americans to consume less added sweeteners is because ingredients such as table sugar deliver calories without essential nutrients such as vitamins or fiber.

Sugar and Corn Syrup are two of the top three ingredients in Welch’s Fruit Snacks.

Note: Examples of added sugars used in commercially processed foods include fructose, maple syrup, cane juice, corn syrup, dextrose, and other sweeteners such as table sugar.

Daily Value (%DV) is based on a 2,000 calorie diet, the standard measure used by the FDA for general nutrition advice. Calorie needs vary. Your %DV may be higher or lower depending on height, weight, and physical activity.
