What You Should Know

You'd spot these in the candy or natural-sweets aisle or snag them at checkout — a bite-sized, cinnamon gummy that leans into nostalgic candy vibes while marketing a lower-sugar, fiber-forward profile. The chewy texture and long shelf life come from industrial ingredients (modified starch, pectin, isomalto-oligosaccharides) plus added sweeteners, flavors and waxes, which are hallmarks of a heavily reformulated, ultraprocessed treat.
