Review of 'Sunkist' Fruit Gems Candy

Sunkist -- Fruit Gems (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: mmmm, I really like these. They are perfectly soft, sweet, sticky, and chewy. The flavours are so super authentic and the ingredients and nutritional profile are way better than Skittles! I would much prefer to buy this when I'm craving candies.

Where to buy: Homesense (American Drive, Mississauga), store locator


Ingredients: SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, ACEROLA PUREE (VITAMIN C), CITRUS PECTIN, NATURAL FLAVORS, CITRIC ACID, RASPBERRY JUICE FROM RASPBERRY PUREE, LEMON JUICE FROM LEMON PUREE, GRAPEFRUIT JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE, ORANGE JUICE FROM ORANGE PUREE, BLUEBERRY JUICE FROM BLUEBERRY PUREE, SODIUM CITRATE, VEGETABLE AND FRUIT JUICE (COLOR).

Nutrition Facts

Vitamin C: 100%

So, obviously this is a 'once in a while' snack, since it's basically all sugar. But...there are actually natural flavours and vitamin C, as opposed to Skittles, which is vegan, but has a horrible ingredient list and nutritional profile.
