S&W Peach Slices, Yellow Cling Peaches in Lightly Sweetened Juice — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates S&W Peach Slices, Yellow Cling Peaches in Lightly Sweetened Juice by Sw TREAT — score 45/90.

Real peaches, but the 'lightly sweetened' can hides two added sugars: corn syrup and plain sugar layered on top of the fruit.

Why this verdict

• Real yellow cling peaches and peach juice form the base
• Two separate added sugars: corn syrup AND sugar, on top of the fruit
• 'Lightly sweetened' still means added sweeteners you don't need
• Simple short list, but the sweetening pushes it into treat territory

Ingredients (6)

• Peaches (safe) — Real yellow cling peaches, the whole-fruit base. Fiber, vitamin C, potassium.
• Peach juice (safe) — Fruit-derived packing liquid; natural but concentrates fruit sugars.
• Corn Syrup (concerning) — Cheap glucose syrup; pure added sugar with no nutrition, here as the second-largest ingredient.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
• Water (safe) — First ingredient by weight; this pudding is mostly water, not milk.
• ascorbic acid (safe) — Vitamin C, used to preserve freshness; benign and even mildly beneficial.
