Capri Sun's

What kid doesn't like a pouch of capri sun? I know my son loves them. They are portable. They easily fit in the lunch bag, they are great for camping trips. The packaging is bio-degradable, and they have options for 100 % juice. But are they good? Who produces them? What's in them-

They are produced by Kraft foods. So I need to explore Kraft foods. They are distributed by the Coca-Cola Enterprises.

What's in them? Water, sugar, pear and apple juice from concentrate. (again where does the water come from, sugar, what does concentrate really mean?) citric acid-which is vitamin c.. Do they just have this big jar of citric acid handy? strawberry juice from concentrate, natural flavor...and finally vitamin e acetate.

So they really aren't natural.

They are also 60 calories per pouch...And the cost for a box was $1.48

here's an article about the biodegradable packaging..
