About DARK CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES, DARK CHOCOLATE
Meijer Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries is a chocolate-enrobed dried fruit product sold under the Meijer private-label brand of Meijer, Inc., the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Midwest supercenter chain. Dried cherries (sweetened with sugar and coated with sunflower oil) form the fruit center, enrobed in a dark chocolate coating that uses a dual chocolate liquor system (natural and alkali-processed), cocoa butter, butterfat (milk), soy lecithin, natural vanilla flavor, and salt. The finishing shell uses water, gum arabic, confectioner's glaze, modified tapioca starch, and a blend of coconut oil and canola oil. This formulation is closely related to the Meijer Dark Chocolate Cherries product (ID 1913940), with the primary difference being the specified vegetable oil blend (coconut oil and canola oil) in the finishing system versus the unspecified coconut and canola oil blend.
Per 100 g, this product provides 438 calories, 68.75 g carbohydrates, 21.88 g fat, 3.12 g protein, and 6.20 g dietary fiber. The high carbohydrate content reflects the substantial dried cherry sugar content and the added sugar from the drying process and chocolate coating. Fat is relatively lower than nut-based chocolate snacks due to the fruit (rather than nut) center.
Dairy is present as butterfat in the chocolate coating. Soy lecithin is a soy allergen. No wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, or sesame are declared. Not suitable for dairy-free or vegan dietary approaches due to the butterfat in the chocolate. Compatible with gluten-free patterns. The sunflower oil on the dried cherries and the coconut-canola finishing oil blend avoid common soybean oil usage seen in many competing chocolate-covered fruit products.
