Chocolate Covered Mystery, June 11, 2010

This review is from: Brookside Dark Chocolate Acai with Blueberry 2 Pounds Resealable Bag [Misc.] (Health and Beauty)

The bag describes these as “Dark Chocolate Acai with Blueberry”. So, I bought these thinking I was getting a dried acai berry or blueberry covered with dark chocolate. After a closer reading of the front of the bag as well as the ingredient list, the thing that is covered with chocolate is described as a “fruit juice piece”. The ingredient list names several fruit juice concentrates in addition to acai and blueberry. I’ve heard of “dried fruit pieces” and I’ve heard of “fruit juice”, but what is a “fruit juice piece”? I didn’t know you could have a piece of juice! It seems like all of Brookside’s products contain the mystery “fruit juice pieces”. What exactly is covered with dark chocolate?

No Acai BERRIES ! very misleading label – not healthy, November 3, 2010

Notice it doesnt say Acai BERRIES?

That’s because the interior of the candies are actually just a berry flavored gelatin – like the inside of a jelly bean. So these are just chocolate covered jellybeans, not real chocolate covered berries. Ingredients are fruit juice and fructose. Frankly it tastes like the main flavoring ingredient is sugar and cheap grape/apple juice to me. You cant even taste Acai.

This product is intentionally trying to ride the healthy berries and chocolate bandwagon.
Yet it is full of unhealthy ingredients unlike what it label shows.
So this is NOT a healthy snack like they are trying to portray.

If chocolate jelly beans are what you want thats fine, just be aware that the label is very misleading IMHO.

The package shows fresh berries so you might assmume these are made from dried berries and chocolate. The ingredients say something very different…. fruit juice concentrate boiled up w corn syrup and cane sugar, thickened and covered w choc. Sugar – sugar and more sugar. Buyer beware.
