Still lists Red 40
Welch's Fruit Punch no longer lists Red 40. Verified Oct 2, 2026. Source: welchs.com.
The formula changed.
Welch's Fruit Punch juice drink previously listed Red 40 on the same UPC 041800432004 (upcitemdb last scanned Sep 21, 2017: … RED 40 (COLOR)). Current LabelINSIGHT capture on the same UPC 041800432004 (Nov 5, 2024) lists vegetable juice, fruit juice, and beta carotene for color with no Red 40. Corroborating LabelINSIGHT capture on multipack UPC 041800357000 (Jan 20, 2026) shows the same vegetable juice / fruit juice / beta carotene after-state. Manufacturer welchs.com Fruit Punch panel matches and lists both UPCs among where-to-buy codes. Stale Open Food Facts / aggregator scrapes that still echo the Red 40 formula are superseded by dated LabelINSIGHT + manufacturer panel.
