Gummy Worms, 5.3 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot these in the candy or 'better-for-you' snack aisle or tossed into a kid's lunchbox or movie-night stash — they're marketed where shoppers want candy with less sugar. The product gives a nostalgic gummy-worm vibe but is framed as a low-sugar, 'healthier' treat. The use of isolated fibers, concentrated flavors, sweetener extracts and waxy coatings explains the chewy, shiny texture and points to extensive industrial reformulation typical of ultra-processed foods.
