What 'kid-friendly' really means on a snack label

Kid-friendly is a marketing word. These are the tests that actually matter when a snack lands in your cart.
Taste and texture first
If kids will not eat it, nothing else matters. Soft, fruity and not overly sweet tends to work, and a gummy texture is a familiar format. Let your child help pick the flavor so it feels like their choice.
Safety and size
Check the age guidance on the package and supervise younger children while they eat. Gummies need a bit of chewing, so sit down for snack time rather than handing them over in the car seat of a moving vehicle.
The label itself
Look for a short ingredient list, no artificial dyes and a clear allergen statement. Punchies list organic raw cane sugar, fruit pectin and organic fruit flavors, with color from vegetables, and they state that they contain milk.
