Fruit snack

Fruit snack is a processed snack food made from fruit, sugar, and/or other natural and artificial flavors and colors. Many fruit snacks are high in vitamin C. They tend to be more healthy than candy but less healthy than actual fruit. Fruit snacks are often packed in lunches for children to bring to school.

Fruit snacks are often gelatinous or sticky in consistency. Foods which are sticky and sugary promote a high degree of tooth decay when proper oral hygiene is not followed. [http://health.yahoo.com/topic/oralcare/prevention/article/healthwise/hw172514]

Specific brands of fruit snacks include CLIF Kid Organic Twisted Fruit, Fruit by the Foot, Fruit Gushers, Fruit Roll-Ups, and Joray Fruit Rolls.
