What You Should Know

You’d spot these peach ring gummies in the candy aisle or the store’s low‑sugar/health snack section — easy to grab for a movie night, road trip, or a kid’s lunchbox. They trade on a nostalgic, candy-store vibe while marketing a ‘guilt‑light’ twist: chewy, fruity, and brightly flavored instead of a whole‑food treat. The long ingredient list of isolated fibers, modified starches, acids, concentrated flavors and waxy coatings explains the glossy chewy texture, long shelf life and other signs of industrial processing typical of ultra‑processed foods.
