What You Should Know

You’d spot these bright peach rings in the candy aisle or on a checkout endcap, pulled out for movie nights, road trips, or a kids’ lunchbox as a low-sugar alternative. They evoke a nostalgic, indulgent vibe while being marketed as a ‘better-for-you’ candy. The chewy texture, glossy coating and list of modified starches, fiber syrups and flavoring agents signal heavy industrial processing rather than a homemade treat.
