Welch’s 'Juicefuls Fusions' are the latest innovation from the beloved fruit snack brand, blending bold flavor combinations with a juicy, layered twist. Unlike any traditional gummy, each bite offers a chewy outer shell infused with one fruit flavor, paired with a liquid center bursting with another. Think 'Watermelon & Lemon,' 'Green Apple & Peach,' or 'Blueberry & Raspberry' -- three dynamic duos packed into every pouch.
Made with natural flavors, colors from natural sources, and offering a healthy dose of vitamins A, C, and E, these gluten-free snacks are crafted for flavor-forward families and adventurous snackers alike. Welch’s Juicefuls Fusions are currently debuting in convenience stores like 7-Eleven and on Amazon, with national rollout to Walmart, Target, Kroger, and H-E-B coming this summer.
