About CHOCOLATE & SWEETENED DRIED FRUIT MIX, CHOCOLATE & SWEETENED

Meijer Chocolate and Sweetened Dried Fruit Mix is a confection and trail mix product sold under the Meijer private-label brand of Meijer, Inc., a Midwest US supercenter chain headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This product belongs to the popcorn, peanuts, seeds, and related snacks category and combines milk and white chocolate pieces with multiple varieties of sweetened dried fruit.

The ingredient list leads with milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate liquor, whole milk powder, soy lecithin, vanilla extract) and white chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, soy lecithin, natural vanilla flavor), followed by sweetened dried cranberries, sweetened dried apples, sweetened dried blueberries, and sweetened dried cherries. All dried fruits are sweetened with sugar and some use sunflower oil as an anti-sticking agent. Artificial colors Red 40 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Blue 2 Lake, Red 3, and titanium dioxide are present in the chocolate coating, indicating color-coated chocolate pieces in the mix. Tapioca dextrin, natural and artificial flavor, and confectioners glaze round out the ingredient list.

Allergens include milk (chocolate), soy (lecithin), and potentially tree nuts from shared equipment. Per 100 grams, this product provides 467 calories, 3.33 grams of protein, 66.67 grams of carbohydrates, and 23.33 grams of fat, with 3.3 grams of dietary fiber. The calorie density is high, and the carbohydrate content is primarily from sugars in the chocolate and sweetened fruits. This product is not appropriate for vegans due to milk chocolate. Multiple artificial dyes are present, including titanium dioxide, which some consumers prefer to avoid. This is a dessert-category trail mix rather than a nutritionally dense snack.
