About APRICOTS
Member's Mark Apricots are dried apricot halves sold under Walmart's Member's Mark brand, associated with Sam's Club, a subsidiary of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. This is a bulk dried fruit product, sold in the larger package sizes characteristic of Sam's Club warehouse retail.
The ingredient list contains three items: dried apricots, sulfur dioxide (used for color retention), and potassium sorbate (a preservative). Sulfur dioxide is a standard and widely used treatment for dried stone fruits, particularly apricots, where it prevents the enzymatic browning that would otherwise turn the fruit from its characteristic bright orange color to a darker brown. Potassium sorbate inhibits mold and yeast growth during storage. Sulfur dioxide is an allergen consideration for sulfite-sensitive individuals and individuals with asthma, as even small amounts can trigger reactions. No added sugars, colors, or other additives are present beyond the two preservative agents.
At 250 calories per 100 grams, dried apricots are a moderate-to-high calorie-density snack food due to the concentrated fruit solids after moisture removal. The macronutrient breakdown shows 60 grams of carbohydrates, 2.5 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat per 100 grams, with 5 grams of dietary fiber. The 40-gram serving provides 100 calories. The carbohydrates come from concentrated natural fruit sugars (primarily sucrose and fructose) with no added sugar in this formulation.
This product is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets and is gluten-free. It contains sulfites (sulfur dioxide) — relevant for sulfite-sensitive individuals and those with asthma. The high potassium content naturally present in apricots makes dried apricots a traditional dietary source of this mineral.
