What it is

Sweetened dried cranberries are cranberries that have been sweetened and dehydrated. Cranberries are small, tart, red berries native to North America. The drying process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sweetened dried cranberries primarily for their sweet flavor and chewy texture, which complements both sweet and savory foods. They are often found in baked goods like muffins and scones, as well as in trail mixes, cereals, and salads.

Health notes

Sweetened dried cranberries are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of fiber and antioxidants, but the added sugar content means they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cranberries and their components.

Allergen info

Sweetened dried cranberries are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
