According to the packaging and parent company General Mills, Motts fruit snacks contain bioengineered ingredients. This disclosure is required under the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard, which ensures consumers are aware of products containing genetically modified components. Understanding this labeling helps you make informed choices about the food you and your family consume.

With some varieties containing up to 9 grams of added sugar per pouch, a closer look at the nutritional content of Mott's fruit snacks reveals they are more candy than fruit. While marketed as a 'fruit' snack, the reality is a mix of concentrates and sweeteners, raising questions about their overall healthiness.

According to Mott's official ingredient lists, their fruit-flavored snacks are colored with vegetable and fruit juices, meaning they *do not* contain Red 40. This is a crucial distinction for parents concerned about artificial additives in their children's diets, and a core part of the larger 'Nutrition Diet' conversation.
