Sugar candy built on three sweeteners, palm oil, refined wheat flour, artificial flavor and a synthetic blue dye (E133). This is engineered craving food with zero nutrition.

Why this verdict

Three sweetener sources stacked: sugar, glucose-fructose syrup and dextrose
Synthetic blue dye E133 (Brilliant Blue FCF) - artificial petroleum-derived color
Hyper-palatable triad: added sugar + palm oil + refined wheat starch
Artificial flavor and refined wheat flour - ultra-processed (NOVA 4)
Empty calories, near-pure fast sugar with zero fiber or protein

Ingredients (9)

Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
glucose-fructose syrup (caution) — Industrial liquid sweetener (equivalent to HFCS); adds fast sugar and smooth texture.
wheat flour (moderate) — Thickening agent, not harmful but adds processing.
Malic acid / citric acid (acidulants) (safe) — Sour agents for tartness; generally harmless but can erode tooth enamel in sour candy.
Dextrose (caution) — Second added sweetener.
Palm Oil (moderate) — Saturated-fat-heavy oil used in the crust.
Aroma (artificial flavor) (moderate) — Lab-made flavoring with no nutritional value; engineers the craving.
Color E133 (Brilliant Blue FCF) (concerning) — Artificial blue dye with no nutritional purpose; flagged in child-behaviour studies.
Antioxidants (ascorbic acid, tocopherol-rich extract) (safe) — Vitamin C and vitamin E used to keep the oil from going rancid - the only benign additives here.
