Rating:     Not Clean

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 2/5 green leaves, Mott’s Assorted Fruit Plus Fiber falls short in offering a clean food option. The product is not organic and has genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, which detracts from its potential health benefits. The presence of added sugars, including sugar and citric acid, raises concerns for those seeking less processed alternatives. Moreover, the inclusion of dextrose and corn syrup, which are classified as more harmful added sugars, further diminishes the product’s nutritional value.

The product’s ingredient list reveals several potentially harmful additives such as natural flavor, sodium citrate, and malic acid, alongside modified corn starch. These components contribute to the low score, as they do not align with the cleaner, more natural options consumers might be searching for. Despite the product’s name suggesting a healthful choice, the ingredients tell a different story.

Mott’s Assorted Fruit Plus Fiber could benefit from a reformulation that emphasizes organic ingredients and eliminates the use of GMOs. By reducing or removing added sugars and potentially harmful additives, the product would be better suited to those looking for healthier snack options. The use of soluble corn fiber and fruit juice concentrates, which could be considered positive aspects, are overshadowed by the less desirable ingredients.

Consumers are increasingly vigilant about the food products they choose, and this product does not meet the criteria for those aiming to consume cleaner, less processed foods. The 2/5 green leaves rating reflects a product that has significant room for improvement in terms of healthfulness and ingredient quality. As it stands, Mott’s Assorted Fruit Plus Fiber is a choice that does not fit within the paradigm of cleaner food options that the market is starting to demand.
