Corn syrup and sugar are the first two ingredients, dressed up by a brand literally called 'Healthy Food Brands' and a 'made with real root beer' line. The 'real root beer' is a trace flavor concentrate, and it's coated in petroleum-derived mineral oil.

Why this verdict

Sold as 'Healthy Food Brands' but it's corn syrup + sugar candy with zero nutritional value
'Made with real A&W root beer' is a trace flavor concentrate at #6, behind gelatin and added flavors
Two stacked sweeteners (corn syrup then sugar) — engineered sweetness
Coated in mineral oil, a petroleum-derived laxative, plus artificial flavor and caramel color
'Fat free' marketing distracts from it being almost entirely sugar

Ingredients (9)

Corn Syrup (caution) — Added sugar baked into the crust.
Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
gelatin (moderate) — Animal-derived binder for the frosting; makes the product non-vegetarian.
NATURAL & ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR (moderate) — Includes synthetic flavoring for the vanilla taste.
Root beer concentrate (caramel color, natural & artificial flavor) (moderate) — The 'real root beer' is just a trace flavor concentrate carrying caramel color and more artificial flavor.
caramel color (caution) — Artificial coloring for a browned look, no nutritional purpose.
MINERAL OIL (moderate) — Petroleum-derived coating used for shine; food-grade but not nourishing.
carnauba wax (safe) — Plant wax used to keep the bears from sticking.
