We buy the individual cups of "Mott's Plus Antioxidants Pomegranate Applesauce" for my daughter to have in her lunch, but I've tried a couple of them. (Though I've never seen it, this type of sauce might also come in the larger jars, but I will be reviewing the individual cups.) "Mott's Plus Antioxidants Pomegranate Applesauce" comes in a package of six 111 gram cups. The packaging is pink with a floaty apple pattern on which photos of apples and pomegranates (I love these!) are superimposed. The packaging tells of the merits of "Mott's Plus Antioxidants Pomegranate Applesauce". The top of the package tells of its vitamin content and tells us that it has no sugar added. (Good news!)

The front bears a pink ribbon and tells us that Mott's supports "Susan G. Komen for the Cure", an organization that fight breast cancer. Good cause!
