Ingredients (14)
- glucose syrup (concerning) — A second refined sweetener layered on top of the sugar — pure fast carbs.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
- Water (safe) — Inert; just adjusts texture.

- Flavorings (lemon, orange, strawberry, apple, pear, cola) (moderate) — Six added aromas standing in for fruit and cola that aren't actually present.
- Colorant E100 (curcumin) (safe) — Turmeric-derived yellow; the least concerning of the color stack.
- Colorant E120 (carmine/cochineal) (moderate) — Insect-derived red dye; a known allergen for some and an industrial coloring marker.
