About CANDIED CHOCOLATE CHERRIES, CANDIED CHOCOLATE
Meijer Candied Chocolate Cherries are a confectionery snack sold under the Meijer private-label brand at Meijer supercenter locations across the Midwest. Meijer, Inc. is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This product consists of dried cherries coated with white chocolate and milk chocolate confectionery layers, finished with candy-coated color.
The ingredient list is led by white chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, soy lecithin as emulsifier, and natural vanilla flavor) and milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, unsweetened chocolate, whole milk powder, soy lecithin, and natural vanilla extract). Both chocolate varieties use soy lecithin as an emulsifier and are based on whole milk powder, confirming dairy content. The dried cherries at the center are made from cherries, sugar, and sunflower oil. Color is provided by Red 40 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, and Blue 2 Lake, which are certified synthetic colorants applied in confectionery-grade lake form for stability. Tapioca dextrin and confectioners glaze (shellac) coat the candy exterior. Natural and artificial flavor is also present.
Per 100 grams, these candied cherries provide 467 calories, 3.33 g of protein, 66.67 g of carbohydrates, 23.33 g of fat, and no measurable fiber. The calorie density is high. Allergens include dairy (milk powder in both chocolate layers) and soy (soy lecithin). No wheat, eggs, tree nuts, or peanuts are listed. The confectioners glaze (shellac) is an insect-derived ingredient, making this product not suitable for strict vegans. The high sugar content comes from multiple sources: sugar in both chocolates, added sugar in the dried cherries, and the candy coating.
