Welch's makes major change to favorite product after ‘natural source' ingredients push
A food and beverage company will be making a major ingredient change to one of its most beloved snacks. And the fix comes just ahead of this year's back-to-school season. Welch's Fruit Snacks, headquartered in Park Ridge, New Jersey, announced this week it will remove artificial dyes. The ingredients will be replaced with colors that come from 'natural sources,' according to a Welch's Fruit Snacks news release. The rollout involves three flavor packs: Mixed Fruit, Berries 'n Cherries and Fruit Punch. Fox News Digital reached out to the maker of the snacks, PIM Brands, for comment. 'This marks an important milestone in Welch's Fruit Snacks' commitment to exclusively use colors from natural sources in all products across the portfolio by early 2026,' according to the release. Jason Levine, PIM Brands chief marketing officer, said consumers and their families are always the top priority. Welch's will remove artificial dyes from its Fruit Snacks. Aaron – 'The move to colors from natural sources began over a decade ago and is already reflected in products launched since 2018,' Levine said in the release. 'Just in time for back-to-school, we're proud to begin rolling out our best-selling flavors made without artificial dyes and without compromising on the things we know people love about Welch's Fruit Snacks: real fruit and great taste.' Welch's Mixed Fruit Snacks currently contain natural and artificial flavors: annatto (color), turmeric (color), Red 40 and Blue 1. Jason Levine, PIM Brands chief marketing officer, said consumers and their families are always the top priority. Wikipedia / sweetfixNYC The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced in April that it will be working with industry leaders to eliminate synthetic dyes from the food supply by the end of next year. Among the dyes HHS is looking to get rid of are Red 40 and Blue 1. Red 40 has been associated with increasing hyperactivity, possibly irritability, and more susceptibility to children, according to WebMD. Children diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) also tend to be more sensitive to such additives, per WebMD.

Capri Sun's 15-inch Solstice Pouches sold out in minutes, brand says
Capri Sun's 15-inch Solstice Pouches sold out in minutes, brand says Show Caption Hide Caption Lemonade recipe with pickles This pickle lemonade is sweet and tangy. Problem Solved Capri Sun's tallest ever pouch, celebrating the summer solstice, sold out minutes after it was released earlier this week. The limited-edition Solstice Pouch, described as "part nostalgic, part unserious," sold out within four to six minutes when it was released June 16 and 17, the brand said. The 15-inch pouch held about 20 ounces of juice, "more than three times a regular pouch," and came with an extra-long yellow straw, according to Capri Sun, which added that the drink would "keep fans cool and quenched all day long." "We know our fans love discovering new twists on our iconic pouch, but the response to our longest pouch ever blew us away," Senior Brand Manager Jessica Barker said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY. "Both drops sold out in just minutes—four and six, to be exact—which is a pretty clear sign that our fans are just as serious about fun as we are." "We created the limited-edition pouches to celebrate the start of summer in a big way, and we're thrilled to see just how much people loved it," she added. Will Capri Sun release Solstice Pouches again? No. The exclusive pouches were only available for a limited time and will not be restocked, according to Barker. 'The exclusive solstice pouches were available for a limited time and have officially sold out," Barker said. "While there are no plans to restock at this time, we're thrilled by the fan excitement and are always looking for new ways to surprise and delight Capri Sun fans." Capri Sun's Solstice Pouch was sold exclusively at Walmart for $1.50, "a nod to the solstice's 15 hours of sunlight," according to the brand. Capri Sun Fruit Punch While the Solstice Pouch is no longer available, "Capri Sun Multi-Serve," another of the brand's summer launches, is still available. The 96-ounce bottle of Fruit Punch, which is purportedly the brand's top flavor, dropped "just in time for summer." "For years, Capri Sun fans have called for a larger serving size to enjoy even more of their childhood favorite drink," the brand said in a news release. "In fact, between 2020 and 2023, a staggering 76 percent of suggestions received by the Capri Sun call center were about fans wanting a bigger product size." The multi-serve is available exclusively at BJ's Wholesale Club, Sam's Club and select Costco locations. Saman Shafiq is a trending news reporter for USA TODAY.

Jey Uso Is Invading Your Local Supermarket
It's just me, JUICE! Jey Uso (or is it J-uice-o?) is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. That title comes with some great perks, like big endorsement deals. Jey is a spokesperson for Slim Jim. Now he can also be seen on Minute Maid juice containers in supermarkets. Advertisement Twitter/X user Christina D shared a photo of Jey Uso on a new half-gallon-sized container of Minute Maid's Tropical Punch that recently hit shelves. WWE announced a new partnership with Minute Maid One other fan reported Cody Rhodes' likeness on the Fruit Punch variety of the juice. If you're wondering what the connection is, Minute Maid is the Official Juice Partner of WWE. That deal was announced in April ahead of WrestleMania 41. The partnership will see 'a wide range of integrations within key WWE assets.' This includes 'match sponsorships and integrations within Premium Live Events' and other custom digital content. WWE Superstar-branded products were also touted in the initial release, and they are now starting to hit stores. Advertisement In addition to Uso and Rhodes, Bianca Belair is also featured in the campaign. They are prominently featured on the Minute Maid website's 'Bring The Juice' section. 'We are excited to partner with The Coca-Cola Company to name Minute Maid the Official Juice Partner of WWE,' said Grant Norris-Jones, Executive Vice President & Head of Global Partnerships for TKO. 'Minute Maid is a trusted family brand with unmatched global reach, and we look forward to collaborating on new and innovative integrations that will resonate with both audiences.'

'This partnership with WWE allows us to tap into one of the most passionate fanbases in the world, bringing the juice to everyday moments and taking them from ordinary to legendary.'
