Jell-O Sugar Free-Fat Free Instant Vanilla Pudding & Pie Filling

Consumer Product Review

Thomas J  McCabe

While shopping at a West Hartford, Connecticut Walgreens Pharmacy this past weekend, I happened to notice Jell-O Sugar Free-Fat Free Instant Vanilla Pudding & Pie Filling for the first time. After having three cavities filled earlier this year, I've been trying to eat more sugar free items, so I bought one box of this sugar free vanilla pudding and I'm glad that I did.

Presented here, in an effort to assist the consumer, is an article which reviews and examines Jell-O Sugar Free-Fat Free Instant Vanilla Pudding & Pie Filling.

Size
The net weight of the standard-sized package of Jell-O Sugar Free-Fat Free Instant Vanilla Pudding & Pie Filling is one ounce (28 ounces). According to the product's nutrition facts label, the package holds four 1/4 package (8 grams) servings.

Price
The regular retail price charged for one 1 ounce package of Jell-O Sugar Free-Fat Free Instant Vanilla Pudding & Pie Filling at Hartford, Connecticut area supermarkets ranges between $1 and $1.19.

When I purchased a box of this pudding mix a few nights ago at my neighborhood Walgreens Pharmacy, the retail price that I paid was $1.29.

Consistency / Texture
When made according to package directions, this instant pudding features a smooth and creamy consistency. On a regular basis, I purchase and eat more than one brand of regular style vanilla pudding with sugar, including instant boxed pudding and ready-to-eat pudding cups.

To me, the consistency of Jell-O Sugar Free-Fat Free Instant Vanilla Pudding & Pie Filling when mixed with milk is every bit as smooth, creamy and satisfying as that of regular style vanilla pudding made with sugar.

Nutritional Facts
Jell-O Sugar Free-Fat Free Instant Vanilla Pudding & Pie Filling contains 70 calories, with 0 calories from fat, per 1/2 cup serving prepared with fat free milk. This delicious pudding mix also contains 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams trans fat, 0 grams total fat, 0 mg of cholesterol, 300 mg of sodium, 6 grams total carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 0 grams of sugars and 0 grams of protein, per 1/2 cup serving prepared with fat free milk.

Taste / Flavor
This instant vanilla pudding and pie filling mix tastes so good, it's hard to believe that it's a sugar free product. First of all, it offers a pleasing vanilla flavor that to me tastes somewhat like French vanilla-flavored pudding. The pudding is also nice and sweet and it's good to know that the mix contains no sugar.

If I was served a bowl of Jell-O Sugar Free-Fat Free Instant Vanilla Pudding & Pie Filling and wasn't told that it was a sugar free item, I'm almost certain I would think it was regular-style, sugared pudding. On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign this product a rating of 9.75.

Packaging
Jell-O Sugar Free-Fat Free Instant Vanilla Pudding & Pie Filling is packaged in an attractively designed cardboard box. The blue front label features a close-up illustration of the enclosed pudding and the rear and side panels list all relevant ingredient and nutritional information, as well as a couple of recipes that can be made utilizing the pudding mix.

Overall Rating
All things considered, Jell-O Sugar Free-Fat Free Instant Vanilla Pudding & Pie Filling is a very tasty dessert item that tastes just as good as vanilla pudding that contains sugar. This reasonably priced item can be prepared in just five minutes and is highly recommended by this food writer.
