No Sugar Added Applesauce

I was just wondering if no sugar added apple sauce is legal. The kind I've always bought for my kids is Mott's Healthy Harvest. Currently I have the summer Strawberry. The kids love it and I do too but I've been avoiding it until I had time to ask.

Ingredients: Apples, water, strawberry puree concentrate, fruit and vegetable juices for color, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) Natural flavors.

Thanks for letting me know. (Even if the answer is no!)

Sorry, applesauce (unless homemade with the skin intact) isn't recommended.

Yeah, I figured it wasn't a good choice because of the lack of fiber. Oh well. It's probably still a better choice than the regular applesauce for my kids. (Especially my 1 year old. She doesn't have enough teeth to eat the skin of an apple anyways.) I'll just stick to regular apples. Thanks for the answer! Better to know than eat the wrong thing.

It's a great choice for the kids.
