My family is allergic to nuts, peanuts, gluten and dairy products. Do Sun-Rype products contain any of these?
Only Sun-Rype FruitSource and FruitSource Plus Veggie 1.3oz (37g) 100% fruit bars are manufactured in a plant that processes peanuts, tree nuts, egg, wheat, sesame, soybean and milk products. We recommend you try Sun-Rype Squiggles 100% Fruit Twist, Sun-Rype 100% Fruit Strips, FruitSource Mini Bites and FruitSource Mini Bites Plus Veggie as they do not contain these allergens and would be an alternate snack choice for individuals with food sensitivities.

What are antioxidants?
Antioxidants help protect our body's cells from damage, which ultimately helps us live healthier, more active lives. Naturally occurring processes like digestion and physical activity, as well as exposure to such things as pollution, chemicals, smoke and radiation from the sun, cause the formation of 'free radicals' within our bodies. These free radicals damage body tissue through a process known as oxidation. When we consume foods high in antioxidants, they work to prevent free radicals from damaging cells in our body. Apples and apple-based products contain Vitamin C and several flavonoids, which act as antioxidants.
Do Sun-Rype products contain preservatives?
No, there are no preservatives in any Sun-Rype products.
