About DINOSAURS FRUIT FLAVORED SNACKS, DINOSAURS

Meijer Dinosaurs Fruit Flavored Snacks is a private-label fruit snack product under the Meijer brand of Meijer, Inc., headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The product consists of gelatin-based chewy fruit snacks shaped as dinosaurs, marketed for children and classified under the Candy category in the USDA database.

Apple juice from concentrate is the primary ingredient by weight, followed by corn syrup, sugar, and gelatin as the structural gelling agent. Modified cornstarch contributes additional body. Minor ingredients (under 2%) include ascorbic acid (vitamin C), natural flavors, and a suite of natural colorants: black carrot juice, spirulina extract, paprika oleoresin, carrot juice, turmeric oleoresin, blueberry juice, all providing color without synthetic FD&C dyes. Citric acid and sodium citrate balance acidity and pH. Carnauba wax is used as a surface finish. Gelatin is a non-vegan animal-derived ingredient derived from collagen. No major allergens beyond gelatin (which is not a declared allergen under FDA guidelines) are present.

Per 100 grams, this product delivers 309 calories with 0 g of fat, 74.96 g of carbohydrates, 4.41 g of protein, and 0 g of dietary fiber. Serving size is 22.68 g. The all-carbohydrate, zero-fat profile is characteristic of gelatin-based gummy snacks. The protein content (4.41 g/100 g) reflects the gelatin contribution rather than from whole-food sources.

This product uses exclusively natural colorants, distinguishing it from many conventional fruit snacks that rely on FD&C dyes. Not appropriate for vegan or vegetarian diets due to gelatin. Not suitable for individuals monitoring added sugar intake, as corn syrup and sugar are the primary sweeteners.
