What it is

Sweetened dried blueberries are fresh blueberries that have had most of their water removed through a drying process. Sugar is typically added during this process to enhance sweetness and aid in preservation. They are a processed fruit product.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sweetened dried blueberries to foods primarily for their sweet and tart flavor, chewy texture, and visual appeal. They are commonly found in snack bars, cereals, trail mixes, baked goods, and other snack foods.

Health notes

Sweetened dried blueberries are considered a food ingredient rather than a food additive, so they do not have a specific regulatory status like GRAS or an approved additive. Blueberries themselves are a source of vitamins and antioxidants. However, the added sugar content means they contribute to the 'added sugars' intake, for which the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount. Consumption in moderation is advised due to the sugar content. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate whole food ingredients like sweetened dried blueberries.
