What You Should Know

You'd spot these in the candy aisle, checkout displays, or tucked into a lunchbox or movie-night snack bowl — nostalgic gummy worms reimagined as a lower-sugar option. The chewy, glossy texture and long shelf-stability come from industrial ingredients like isolated soluble fibers, concentrated sweeteners, glazing wax and flavor extracts, signaling an ultra-processed formulation rather than a homemade candy.
