Sour raspberry gummies without the sugar
These red raspberry gummies get their sour edge from malic and citric acids and their sweetness from erythritol, isomalt and sucralose instead of sugar. Shameless Snacks flavours them with natural raspberry flavouring and sets them with pectin.
Where the carbohydrate comes from
Most of the 37 g of carbohydrate in each bag is fibre: polydextrose and soluble corn fibre lead the ingredient list and account for 26 g of fibre per bag. A further 8 g comes from the sugar alcohols erythritol and isomalt, which is how the maker arrives at its 3 g net carb figure. Total sugars are 3 g per bag, with no added sugars listed.
What comes in the pack
The pack holds six 50 g (1.8 oz) bags, and each bag is one serving. Each one contains 0 g of fat and protein and 130 mg of sodium. The gummies are set with pectin rather than gelatin and coloured with purple carrot juice concentrate.
How to use
Open a bag and enjoy the sour raspberry gummies as a snack, following the serving directions printed on the label.
Before you choose
These are reduced-sugar sweets, not a meal or a source of nutrients. They contain a lot of fibre and sugar alcohols (polydextrose, soluble corn fibre, erythritol and isomalt), so check the ingredients if you are sensitive to these, and start with a smaller amount if you are not used to them. Store in a cool, dry place. US-market product: packaging and label wording may differ from UK versions.
