What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the snack or lunchbox aisle, grabbed for kid lunches, quick breakfasts, or on-the-go snacks. It feels wholesome and nostalgic — a convenient, fruit-forward treat — but its smooth pouch texture and use of fruit concentrates and shelf-stable packaging point to industrial processing rather than a homemade puree. These cues suggest convenience-focused manufacturing (long shelf life, reconstituted concentrate) rather than minimal, kitchen-style preparation.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Contains fruit puree concentrate and is sold in a single-use squeezable pouch — ingredients and format typical of industrial formulations that reconstitute and concentrate fruit sugars for convenience, so it fits NOVA 4 (ultra-processed) despite using organic ingredients.
