Eating the sweets is no comparison to actual fruit
Who would have thought that eating sweets would provide us with one of our five-a-day?
But you do have to eat 195 of the fruit gums to get the same nutritional value as a piece of fruit or veg.
This equates to 11-and-a-half tubes, which costs £7.08 and contains 1,955 calories - the complete daily intake for the average woman.
Food giant Nestle, which did the mats in response to a customer query, said: "Fruit Gums contain fruit juice and vitamin C."
The Department of Health told the Metro: "The five-a-day logo is not now - and willnever be - used to promote foods with high levels of fat, sugar and salt."
