Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: Oh...wow! I was expecting something similar to the 'Strawberry, Banana, Orange' Nuggets I tried a little while back (reviewed here). This is way better! It's softer and less sticky, so there was no annoyance for me. The flavours were fantastically distinct and authentic...like biting into the actual fruits. I'm gonna highly recommend these for their taste, texture, and great ingredients.

Well, it's difficult to say just how good these ingredients are because I'm unsure of the GMO position of the brand. If they are not on board, then the 'corn maltodextrin' would likely be an issue. Aside from that, though, everything is great -- fruit ingredients are the main star here and there are no artificial ingredients.
The calories are nice and low per pouch and the best part is the 40% of vitamin C provided. You seriously wouldn't believe how authentic these flavours are...especially in a children's candy! I probably won't be buying it again, though, since I'm not convinced that Florida's Natural is non-GMO.
