Tropical Sour Gummies, 1.8 OZ
What You Should Know
You’d spot these SMART SWEETS Tropical Sour Gummies in the candy or better-for-you snack aisle and reach for them at movie nights, road trips, or packed lunches as a low-sugar treat. They carry a nostalgic, candy-like vibe while wearing a health-halo — familiar gummy chew but marketed as a cleaner option. The long list of isolated ingredients and texturizers (modified starch, pectin, isomalto-oligosaccharides, chicory fiber, stevia, natural flavors, carnauba wax) plus acids for tartness point to industrial formulation to achieve that chewy texture and consistent color/flavor, a hallmark of ultraprocessed products.
