Sour Gummy Bears, 7 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot these sour gummy bears in the candy aisle or on an endcap by checkout, often grabbed for movie nights, road trips, or the kiddo’s lunchbox. They feel nostalgic and indulgent — chewy, intensely sweet and tart — more about a quick treat than nutrition. The ingredient list (syrups, modified cornstarch, added acids, concentrated color extracts and 'natural flavors') and manufactured chewy texture are classic signs of ultra-processing.
