Just saw 'made with real fruit' on a candy that's 90% sugar
Checked the back. Fruit juice concentrate was the last ingredient. That means there's basically none. How is that even legal to say? Anyone know a real brand that actually puts fruit first?

The FDA lets them say "made with real fruit" if any amount is present, even a tiny trace. It's a total loophole that tricks people looking for healthier snacks. You have to ignore the front and always check the ingredient order.

Honestly @jamieb80, I never checked labels before but your point makes me want to start.

Candy labeled "real fruit" is such a joke, I got burned by that too last week.
