Fruit snack is a processed snack food made from fruit, sugar, and/or other natural and artificial flavors and colors. Many fruit snacks are high in vitamin C. They tend to be more healthy than candy but less healthy than actual fruit. Fruit snacks are often packed in lunches for children to bring to school.

Fruit snacks may be gelatinous in consistency. Because fruit snacks are somewhat sticky, their consumption may lead to tooth decay when pieces of the snack are left inside between teeth.
