About KROGER, FRUIT COCKTAIL IN HEAVY SYRUP
Kroger Fruit Cocktail in Heavy Syrup is a canned mixed fruit product sold under the core Kroger store brand. The formula contains diced peaches, diced pears, water, sugar, pineapple segments, grapes, halved cherries artificially colored with Red 3, and citric acid. The heavy syrup designation indicates a high-sugar syrup base, which places this product in the highest-calorie tier of canned fruit products compared to light syrup, juice-packed, or water-packed alternatives.
Nutritionally, this product provides 78 calories per 100 grams in the syrup-inclusive serving, with 19.53 grams of carbohydrates, zero protein, zero fat, and 0.8 grams of dietary fiber. The caloric content reflects the heavy syrup contribution, with the fruit itself contributing a lower baseline. The sugar level in heavy syrup fruit cocktail is substantially higher than fresh or unsweetened canned fruit alternatives.
The cherries are artificially colored with Red 3 (erythrosine), a synthetic dye that the FDA has identified as a potential carcinogen in high-dose animal studies and has been banned for use in cosmetics. Red 3 remains approved for food use in the United States as of 2024, though the FDA issued a ruling in late 2023 requiring it be removed from food products by January 2027. Consumers wishing to avoid this ingredient should note its presence. No other major FASTER Act allergens are present. The product is vegan and gluten-free. The product is suitable for dessert toppings, baked goods, fruit salads, and as a standalone snack, though the heavy syrup format makes it one of the higher-sugar canned fruit options in the Kroger lineup.
