Mostly mango until the sulfite tax hits your snack.

The Take

Dave & Jon's Mango Slices start with a strong real-fruit base but the sulfites and extra sugar push it into processed territory. The 94.8 percent mango claim sounds clean until you hit the antioxidant added for shelf life.

The Verdict

The brand keeps the process straightforward and Scandinavian, yet the sodium disulfite addition exists purely for industrial shelf life. That single ingredient turns a simple snack into one worth skipping for most people who read labels.

Skip the additives. Buy plain unsweetened dried mango or dehydrate fresh yourself.
