humzingers have disappeared from tesco online... whats the next best thing???

[lunavix]

Bar actual dried fruit obviously....

Ds will eat humzingers and raisins till they come out his ears, but I like humzingers in that they seem like a treat but aren't bad for him. Tried the jordans ones this week, and they're huge and horridly stickly and he won't eat them. I don't like school bars as they're so sweet and you can actually crunch the sugar when eating them....

They caved in under the pressure of my 3000 e mails then....

don't you like humzingers??????

I thought they were the one good dried fruit bar????

they are its just dried fruit rolled in rice flour ,(although not organic so sulphur dixide present!!)
my daughter loves them to she would eat loads if i'd let her.
I noticed they have disapeared from online tesco too, but they sell them in boots and holland and barret so crisis over in our house!!

sorry dioxide

my daughter calls them hummzies and thinks its funny none of her friends like them

luna,I din't know what they were until last week!
The name sounds frighteniong but yeah,they seem ok.

I love them but feel they are not good....
Jordans do a fab fruit bar cant remember what its called but the strawberry one is a delight!

There is only 1 supermarket that I can find Humzingers in and when I visit it I buy loads to stock up.I find them a god send as DS doesn't eat any fresh fruit whatsoever. Only raisins, humzingers and recently he has been eating dried banana.

Moondog - Why are you so anti Humzingers?
I have googled them and looked at the ingredients. They contain the preservative Sulphur Dioxide which apparently is used for all dried fruit. Don't most foods contain similar preservatives?

I would love it if DS would eat fruit but he has a huge aversion to it. Think it's texture and wetness. I still present some to him every day and have been in all forms (drinks etc) for 2.7 years but so far dried fruit is the only way to get it in.

Boots stock them. Ds2 loves them - they're handy to keep in my bag for those whingy "I'm huuuuunnngrreeeeeeeee" moments.

waitrose sell them

Will have to make a weekly trip to waitrose! Wonder if makro do them in bulk martha - that's exactly why I have them.

Notanotter - I believe they're one of the only dried fruit bars with no added sugar or anythign similar. The jordans ones may be too, I bought them out of desperation for ds (so I think I'd have checked the ingredients) but they're huge and sticky lol he can't stand them.

Humzingers are great, even if they do look like dog chews.
