What’s in it Every ingredient, in label order
- Organic apples
Who tested it What each test found, and who paid for it
- Independent None found November 2026
No independent lab has published a metals, pesticide or sulfite result for this product that we could find. The maker states Non-GMO Project verification, which is a process verification and not a contaminant test. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)
Who paid, and why it matters
- Independent The tester took no money from the maker for it: a consumer group, a journalist, a university or a regulator.
- Paid certification An outside lab or certifier tested or listed it, and the maker paid for that.
- Maker’s own test A lab report or certificate of analysis the maker commissioned and published.
A certification is a floor, not a verdict: it checks what its program checks and nothing else. We weigh tests by someone with no stake in the result most.
What people ask Worries raised online and elsewhere, and what we found
- Is it really sulfur free?
- The maker says no sulfur, additives or preservatives on its product page (opens in a new tab). Ingredients are one line: organic apples. We have no lab result to confirm the sulfite level.
- Is it USDA organic?
- The maker's page calls the ingredient organic apples and says just 100% organic fruit. Its figs and apricots carry a 'USDA Certified Organic' tag on their pages and the apple rings page does not, so we could not confirm the seal.
- Does it carry a Prop 65 warning?
- Not from the maker, whose page shows none. iHerb’s listing (opens in a new tab) says consuming the product “can expose you to chemicals including lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic”. That reads as a blanket retailer warning, not a test of this bag, and it names no level. California’s notice search shows no notice against Made in Nature; we cannot say what the bag contains.
- Any recalls or lawsuits?
- openFDA has two entries for the company, both a terminated 2015 recall of kale chips for an undeclared soy allergen (openFDA (opens in a new tab)). No Prop 65 notice names Made in Nature, searched 2026-11-05.
Why we chose it What put it on our list
- One ingredient and no sulfur, sugar or preservatives, per the maker.
- No added fat and no salt.
Trade-offs What to weigh before you buy
- No independent test for metals or pesticides.
- The maker’s page gives no nutrition numbers in text and no origin; iHerb’s panel shows 23 g of sugars per 40 g serving, none added.
- No independent test, and iHerb shows a generic California warning for lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic.
- Dried fruit packs its sugar in a small volume; it is easy to eat a lot.
What to know Details worth knowing first
One ingredient, organic apples, dried until chewy. The maker says there is no sulfur, sugar or preservative in the bag, and there is no oil either.
The gaps are the usual ones for dried fruit. We found no independent test for metals or pesticides, and the page does not show the USDA organic seal on this product, so organic is the maker's word. The price is mid-range at about $1.72 an ounce.
Dried fruit is concentrated: a handful carries the sugar of several apples. Fine as a snack, easy to overdo.
What we checked Each claim, and how sure we are of it
| What we checked | What we found |
|---|---|
| Short ingredient list, nothing artificial Maker’s claim | One ingredient: organic apples. |
| Organic certification Not verified | Stated as organic fruit; the USDA seal is not shown on this page. |
| Contaminants tested Not verified | No published result. |
What the labels mean
- Verified We opened an independent record that confirms it: a certifier’s listing, a regulator’s list or a lab report. It is linked under Sources.
- Maker’s claim The maker says so on its own page or label. We read it but found no independent record.
- Not verified We looked and could not confirm it, or the maker does not say. Treat it as unknown.
