Unsweetened pouches commonly avoid added sugars and high-fructose corn syrup, and often exclude artificial flavors, artificial colors, preservatives, and artificial sweeteners.

Some applesauce pouch listings describe each pouch as containing about 1/3 cup of fruit puree; at least one product lists a pouch as roughly a 1/2 serving of fruit. Check the product label for exact serving-size details.
