Gummy Worms, 1.8 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot these gummy worms in the candy aisle or the health-snack section—often grabbed at checkout, packed into lunchboxes, or tossed into a movie-night bowl. They carry a nostalgic, candy-shop vibe while being marketed as a lower-sugar or 'better-for-you' indulgence. The chewy, glossy texture and long list of isolated fibers, sweeteners, flavors and waxy coatings reflect industrial formulation typical of highly processed snacks.
