These new Sun-Maid raisin snacks are being launched by the Fresno, California-based brand to help provide consumers with a series of summery sweets to enjoy during the upcoming season. The snacks include the new Peach and Tropical Punch flavors, which are both made with golden raisins and are made without any added sugar or artificial ingredients in the mix. The snacks are being launched now at retailers as well as from Amazon at a suggested retail price of $3.29 per box.
President and CEO Harry Overly spoke on the new Sun-Maid raisin snacks saying, "Traditionally, fruit snacks have been loaded with added sugars, corn syrup and artificial ingredients and it is time real fruit takes center stage. Our Fruity Raisin Snacks are simply real whole fruit that tastes like a candy, not a gummy fruity snack posing as real fruit. By adding in these delicious new flavors, we're delighted to offer fans the choice between a sourer punch or sweeter fruity taste – just in time for summer.”
