What You Should Know

You'd find these in the kids' vitamins or natural foods aisle or on a pantry shelf, often picked up by parents looking for a kid-friendly, candy-like way to add fiber. The product projects a nostalgic, candy-gummy vibe but with a healthier-for-kids marketing angle (sugar-free, organic flavors). The ingredient list — isolated soluble tapioca fiber, maltitol, pectin, flavorings, color extracts and non-sugar sweeteners — points to industrial formulation to achieve a chewy, shelf-stable texture, consistent with ultra-processed products.
