What's in your fruit snacks

I saw this and am not really suprised of what's in some fruit snacks, but more about the Yellow 5 food coloring!

Ugh. Those fruit chews make me crazy. They sell them as a healthy snack and there is nothing good in them. I buy DS the Annie's Organic version and they are made of whole food. Its always surprising to me how many things have artificial color in them-marshmallows, any of the pillsbury products-biscuits, pie crusts. I was disappointed to learn the other day that the fruit smoothies at the Costco snack bar had artificial color.

The only pop-dough I buy is the Simply line from Pillsbury.

I cringe when MIL brings out the fruit snacks and those ice pop things for DS.

Ooh the ice pops, those make me cringe too. I hate that people feed that garbage to their kids. Popsicles are so easy to make-why not give your kid real food or at least buy the store bought ones that are whole fruit.  I found of pop dough sold at Whole Foods that has nothing artificial in it-the make crescent dough, pie crust, cookies, cinnamon rolls and scones. Everything I have tried has been really good. The brand is immaculate baking company.
