What You Should Know

You'd spot these in the candy aisle or at checkout, grabbed for movie nights, road trips, or slipped into a lunchbox. They feel playful and nostalgic — a sweet, indulgent treat — and the refined sugars, syrups, modified starch and flavoring additives that create the chewy molded texture point to industrial processing typical of ultraprocessed foods.
