Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:

Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks Avengers fall short in the clean food category. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which detracts from its appeal to those seeking natural options. The presence of added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, raises concerns for health-conscious consumers. More alarming is the high content of corn syrup, a sweetener linked to various health issues when consumed in excess.
Additionally, the snacks contain a range of additives, including natural flavor, sodium citrate, malic acid, and modified corn starch, which further diminish its standing as a clean food choice. Although the product is fortified with vitamin C, the nutritional benefit is overshadowed by the less desirable ingredients.
The use of colorants derived from vegetable juice, spirulina, fruit juice, annatto, and turmeric extracts is one of the few positives, as they are preferable to artificial colors. However, this does not compensate for the overall composition of the snack, which emphasizes highly processed ingredients over whole, nutritious ones.
The product’s reliance on apple juice concentrate as a fruit component is minimal and does not align with the expectations for a fruit snack. The addition of a trivial amount of fat from sunflower oil and the use of carnauba wax as a coating agent are also noted, though they have a lesser impact on the overall assessment.
The Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks Avengers are positioned in a market saturated with unhealthy choices, and despite their appeal to fans of the franchise, they do not meet the standards for those seeking cleaner, more wholesome food options. This evaluation reflects the product’s content and composition, which prioritize convenience and shelf stability over nutritional integrity.
