What You Should Know

You'd spot these in the candy or better-for-you snack aisle, often picked up as a low-sugar gummy option for lunchboxes, road trips, or movie night. They carry a nostalgic gummy-candy vibe but are marketed with a health-forward twist — lower sugar and added fiber rather than a straight-up sugary indulgence. The glossy, chewy texture and ingredients like isolated chicory root fiber, modified potato starch, pectin, stevia, natural flavors and wax coatings signal industrial formulation and advanced processing.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Classified as NOVA 4 (ultra-processed) because the product contains industrially modified ingredients (modified potato starch, isolated isomalto-oligosaccharides), non-nutritive sweetener components and additives (stevia, natural flavors, carnauba wax) and is formulated to mimic a conventional candy rather than being a minimally processed whole food.
