What You Should Know

You'd spot these in the snack or health-food aisle or tucked near the checkout — a low-sugar take on classic peach gummy rings. They give a nostalgic, indulgent vibe by mimicking the chewy, fruity candy experience while touting a ‘better-for-you’ profile. The use of isolated fibers, modified starches, non-nutritive sweetener, flavorings and waxy coatings signals industrial formulation and texture engineering typical of ultra-processed snacks.

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? These Peach Rings are low in sugar and high in fiber, which is a nice combo for a candy treat. They might not be a superfood, but if you're looking for a sweet snack that won't break the calorie bank, they're a pretty decent choice compared to traditional candy.
