Rating: Average

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, the Annie’s Organic Swirly Strawberry FruitTape is a mid-tier choice for those seeking cleaner food options. The product earns recognition for its commitment to organic ingredients and its avoidance of GMOs. The ingredients list features organic pear juice concentrate, tapioca syrup, and sunflower oil, alongside organic cane sugar and fruit purees. It also includes organic color derived from natural sources like carrot, apple, and black currant juice concentrates, and is fortified with vitamin C.
While the organic status of the product is a strong point, the presence of added sugars such as organic cane sugar and organic tapioca syrup leads to deductions in its overall score. These sweeteners, although organic, contribute to the sugar content of the product. Furthermore, ingredients like citric acid, though naturally occurring, are counted as added sugars due to their role in the product’s flavor profile. The inclusion of “natural flavor” and sodium citrate, both of which are considered potentially harmful additives, further impacts the score negatively. The addition of corn starch, often used as a thickening agent, also contributes to the deductions.
Despite these concerns, the product maintains a middle-ground position. The use of organic and non-GMO ingredients is a positive aspect that appeals to health-conscious consumers. The score reflects a balance between the commendable features of the product and the areas where it falls short, namely the inclusion of added sugars and certain additives. The Annie’s Organic Swirly Strawberry FruitTape is presented as a moderate choice for those who prioritize organic composition but are also mindful of added sugars and additives in their food selections.
