Is there sugar, salt, flavours added or preservatives? That is usually the basic list that I ask myself and then I decide from there.
A lot of normal dried fruit is packed full of sugar and preservatives. I’m not familiar with that particular brand though.
I also know Ekkies have specialised diet needs so I’m tagging @Monaco to check this product out and give you her opinion from an ekkie owners perspective.

Thanks, @Shezbug. I really like using dried fruit in a couple of ways. One is to add bulk to the mix of pellets and seeds that I've made for my girl to wean her off of dyed pellets and seed mix. The second is to use as treats for training or just because.

If you are having trouble finding dehydrated fruit without sugar/phosphates/extra ingredients, look for freeze dried instead. Or you can make your own in your oven or dehydrator.

Last is to limit these treats! The moisture in fruit is as important as the nutrients for ekkies. These need to be a very small portion of the diet, but can really be a good tool to use if they like it!
