What You Should Know

You'd spot this multi-pack of squeeze pouches in the kids' snacks or baby foods aisle and reach for it when packing lunchboxes, grabbing an on-the-go snack, or stashing pantry staples for outings. It feels wholesome and slightly nostalgic—like homemade applesauce in a convenient modern format—and aims to be a healthy, fruit-forward snack. The smooth pureed texture and short ingredient list (organic fruit, lemon concentrate, ascorbic acid) reflect industrial pureeing and preservation for shelf stability but not the cocktail of additives typical of ultra-processed products.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from organic fruit puree with lemon juice concentrate and ascorbic acid for color/preservation, the product is industrially processed into shelf-stable pouches but lacks the synthetic additives, flavor enhancers, or industrial ingredients that define NOVA 4, so it fits NOVA 3 (processed foods).
