Kirkland Signature Dried Cranberries — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Kirkland Signature Dried Cranberries by Kirkland Signature TREAT — score 50/90.

Real cranberries, but sweetened hard: sugar is the second ingredient and these run very high in total sugar because raw cranberries are too tart to eat plain. The list itself is clean and honest, no dyes or artificial flavors. Great in salads and baking, just count them closer to candy than to fresh fruit.

Why this verdict

• Only three ingredients: real cranberries, sugar, and a touch of sunflower oil
• Added sugar is the second ingredient and total sugars are very high
• Sugar-heavy but simple, an indulgent dried fruit rather than an engineered snack
• No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives

Ingredients (3)

• Cranberries (safe) — Real dried fruit; some fiber and antioxidants survive drying.
• Sugar (caution) — One of two added sugars; the product is high in total sugar.
• Sunflower Oil (moderate) — Refined oil, present in a small amount.
