About Fruit Roll-Ups

Fruit Roll-Ups are thin, pliable fruit-flavored snacks produced by General Mills, sold at grocery chains and mass retailers since 1983.

Common concerns with Fruit Roll-Ups products

Fruit Roll-Ups contain Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and Blue 1 as colorants across most flavored varieties. The product lists sugar and corn syrup as primary ingredients, with very little actual fruit. Artificial flavors are used extensively. These petroleum-derived synthetic dyes require warning labels on equivalent products sold in the EU and UK. As of 2025, viral social media posts brought Fruit Roll-Ups mainstream attention for their dye content.
