Consumer beware...

I was cleaning out my tea cupboard this past week. It was long overdue. I found a full box of Cranberry Hot Apple Cider mix. Just add water, it states. But add water to what?, I wondered...

Ingredients: Sugar, dextrose, natural flavours, maltodextrin, citric acid, beet powder, malic acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin C 313mg/100g - 120% RDI/serving), silicon dioxide, caramel, tricalcium phosphate, salt.

Interestingly, no mention of cranberries or apples. Apparently, the good news is: it's caffeine free and has no artificial flavours or colours!

The box made quite a THUNK as it hit the bottom of the trash can.

PAX,
