Pure sugar tablets dyed with four artificial colors and artificial flavor. There is no food here, just dextrose and dye.

Why this verdict

• Dextrose (pure sugar) is the #1 and dominant ingredient
• Four artificial color lakes: Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 2
• Artificial flavors carry the taste, no real fruit involved
• Zero nutrition: no protein, fiber, vitamins, or whole-food content
• Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) candy designed purely for a sugar hit

Ingredients (8)

• Dextrose (moderate) — A second added sugar, used on the chicken; spikes blood sugar fast.
• citric acid (safe) — Common acidulant for tartness; harmless in this amount but can be rough on tooth enamel.
• CALCIUM STEARATE (safe) — Anti-caking/flow agent so the powder presses into tablets. Inert and safe.
• Artificial Flavors (moderate) — Lab-made flavor compounds standing in for real chocolate depth.
• red 40 lake (concerning) — Petroleum-derived dye linked to hyperactivity in sensitive children; under regulatory scrutiny.
• YELLOW 5 LAKE (concerning) — Tartrazine; associated with hyperactivity and allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
• Yellow 6 Lake (concerning) — Synthetic azo dye flagged for behavioral effects in children.
• BLUE 2 LAKE (concerning) — Indigotine; synthetic dye with no nutritional purpose, purely cosmetic.
