Natural Raspberry Liquorice — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Natural Raspberry Liquorice by Panda TREAT — score 43/90.

A genuinely short, clean ingredient list, but it's still candy built on molasses syrup. Sugar is the #1 ingredient, so this is an indulgence, not a health food.

Why this verdict

• Molasses syrup is the #1 ingredient, making this a sugar-dominant candy
• Raspberry puree is only 1.7%, despite the fruity name
• Short, clean ingredient list keeps it out of engineered/dump territory
• No artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or emulsifiers

Ingredients (6)

• Molasses syrup (moderate) — The base of the candy and the dominant ingredient. It's a less-refined sugar with trace minerals, but it's still sugar and spikes blood glucose.
• wheat flour (moderate) — Thickening agent, not harmful but adds processing.
• Pasteurised raspberry puree (1.7%) (safe) — Real fruit, but at 1.7% it's a flavor accent, not a meaningful source of nutrition.
• Citric acid (acidity regulator) (safe) — Common, harmless acidity regulator used to control pH and texture.
• natural flavouring (moderate) — Undefined flavour compound; 'natural' but unspecified, a minor processing marker.
• Liquorice extract (moderate) — Gives the candy its signature taste. Contains glycyrrhizin, which in large or frequent amounts can raise blood pressure and lower potassium.
