What You Should Know

You'd find these in the candy aisle or the 'better-for-you' snack section and many people grab them for movie nights, lunchboxes, or a quick nostalgic treat. The product aims for a familiar peach-ring candy experience but uses isolated fibers, modified starches, acidulants, intense sweeteners and wax coatings to create the chewy texture and long shelf life, signaling heavy industrial processing.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Contains multiple industrial ingredients and additives (modified potato starch, isomalto-oligosaccharides, chicory root fiber isolates, acidulants, stevia, natural flavors, carnauba wax) formulated to mimic a traditional candy, fitting NOVA group 4. The chewy texture and shelf stability are achieved through extensive industrial processing rather than whole food preparation.
