Rated 5 out of 5 by from Flies like it, you can see the larvae My flies are thriving on the diet and even small larvae are visible. You have to be a bit careful not to stain things unintentionally with the blue dye in the mix, though.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Awesome Very efficient means of feeding my fruit flies. It's quick and simple to prepare. I like the blue dye because it shows wherever it's been so that I can clean up more thoroughly, plus, it's makes it easier to see the larva.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great for small drug delivery pilot experiments This food is super simple to make and incorporate your drug of choice. We have a fly kitchen at our university that makes fly food for all the labs, but rather than gather the material to make a few vials from scratch (not cost effective) or modify the pre-made food (messy and time consuming), we just diluted our drug into the water used to make the blue food and voila! Cheap drug delivery for a small pilot experiment. Thanks, Carolina!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product Great product. Easier than making your own. The Blue dye just makes it easier to see how the fruit flies are growing but the white version works just as well. Both are excellent products. Easy to use and very effective.
