Dear Dole,
I am aghast at your temerity ( I love to use words from my 9th grade English class) at calling this product "REAL Fruit Bites...with Yogurt and Whole Grain Oats"....really??? Come on! You have taken small nuggets of pineapple(and other fruits) and coated them with a sweetened yogurt candy mixed with whole grain oats and put them into 80 calorie packs. The 2nd and 6th ingredients are sugar. Why would I want my fruit coated with yogurt candy shell and whole grain oats anyway? Why are you putting Whole Grain Oats into the mix and advertising that it is "made with Whole Grain Oats"? Is this because Whole Grains have a "health halo" as being a good for you ingredient? Since the toasted oats are the LAST ingredient I doubt there is much oat goodness anyway.
Please rethink this product. I wouldn't advise substituting it for REAL FRUIT ( like pineapple, apples, mangoes, or bananas) in a child's lunch and for those 80 calories I could have a whole small apple!
P.S. - I like your website, and the nutrition info on it and I like your REAL PINEAPPLE - I just think you didn't do such a great job with this product.
