Dole Mandarin Oranges Fruit Cups - 16 Count (Pack of 1)

Great tasting fruits that were well within freshness date when arrived. This is a great healthy snack for school or work. This is a great buy for the price. When item arrived, all cups were still sealed and had no damage at all. I will continue to purchase these as I run out.

I've purchased these quite a few times and have always loved them. We live in rural Alaska and we rarely get fresh fruit shipped into our grocery store. Atop of that, we never get mandarin oranges. Yet, they are by far, one of my foster kiddos FAVORITE foods! We love healthy snacks and every day after school my kiddos come home starving. When it's available, fresh fruit is our snack. But when it's not, we have fruit cups! These delicious mandarin oranges are packaged in little plastic cups with easily removable plastic wrapper tops. Plastic plastic plastic. I know that it's virtually impossible to create eco-friendly and efficient packaging for canned foods, but I do find it such a shame to add to our landfill with every serving of these yummy fruit packs. If only they could find biodegradable packaging for fruit cups! But until the day comes when such a thing exists, I won't dock this product points for their lack of eco-friendliness. They are packaged in a cardboard box- which is biodegradable! As for the fruit themselves, we've never had a problem with this product. The fruit is always delicious, sweet, and with the perfectly soft yet yummy texture. For people not familiar with mandarin oranges, they are essentially small miniature slightly-less-sour oranges. Very yummy- and very kid-friendly too! My kiddos LOVE these and eat them up without one complaint. In fact- it's one of the few foods they'll beg for when they get home from school! "Can I have a fruit cup?" "Can I have another fruit cup?" "Can I have one more fruit cup?" Needless to say I'll happily hand my kids as many of these healthy treats as I can. These oranges are packed in water (which is actually more of a sweet orangey juice that the kids love sipping up), and have no preservatives added- so they truly are natural, yummy treats for my kids. If only they were organic, I'd be in healthy-parenting heaven! The packages are always very full, you get the serving size you'd expect. The quality is great. The packaging may be a bit harsh on mother nature, and they aren't organic- but aside from those two downfalls, these fruit cups are fantastic products! And the kiddos love them!

I love this product. These fruit cups are the perfect size to use as a dessert to finish your meal or to have a quick, healthy snack. The oranges are not mushy but nice and solid. Their juice isn't overly sweet. The only thing I wish is that the cover was easier to peel back because in the process of opening, some liquid always spills out. Other than that, I love these Mandarin Oranges and I buy them frequently. I like Dole fruit prodcts because the quality is always top shelf and the taste is delicious. These are worth every penny and are a treat to your taste buds. Enjoy!

Good product

Great for college students who can’t get to the store but need some snacks that are cheaper Over all since buying the pack rather than individual from an expensive school store.

This is my favorite lunchbox fruit. Sweet, but not too sweet. The juice in the cup is also refreshing.

Not only are the mandarin oranges in bits and pieces but it taste awful! Even my 12 year old kid said it tasted funny. I’ve had many mandarin oranges from dole and never had it taste this weird. I think it’s contaminated some how, despite the October of this year expiration date. Oh well, it’s going in the garbage.

Same as you get on the store, but the price and quantity make it hard to beat. I try to limit the amount of sugar the kids get, and these have no added sugar so they're a great choice for my family. Plus it comes to us instead of us going to them.
