Gummy Worms, 1.8 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot these in the candy aisle or at the checkout, often grabbed as a lower-sugar gummy alternative for kids' lunchboxes, movie nights, or a quick sweet fix. They carry a nostalgic, playful indulgence—gummy-worm texture and childhood vibes—while being marketed as a 'healthier' candy. The ingredients (isolated soluble fiber, gelatin, natural flavors, carnauba wax, stevia extract) and texture-stabilizing additives reveal an industrially formulated product typical of ultra-processed foods.
