Labels

I don’t like syrup in my canned fruit. It just seems like unnecessary calories to me. So when I saw these were water packed, I grabbed the. Silly me. I should have read just a little further down the label.

Of course if they weren’t going to use sugar they would use something else. I didn’t realize it until I swallowed. At first I thought it was aspartame, except it wasn’t as strong of an off flavor. So I checked the label. It’s sucraslose.

I’m supposed to be eating more fruit. The people running my diet program encouraged us to eat canned fruit if we couldn’t get out hands on fresh. Be we are also supposed to avoid heavy syrup and additives.

Even if I actually liked the taste I’d probably avoid these in the future. As if fruit wasn’t naturally sweet enough.
