About BLACK GUMBALLS
Meijer Black Gumballs are a sugar-based confection sold under the Meijer private label, classified in the chewing gum and mints category. The primary ingredients are sugar and dextrose, both refined carbohydrate sweeteners, followed by gum base, corn syrup, and natural and artificial flavors. Glycerin serves as a humectant to maintain moisture. The glossy shell characteristic of gumballs is achieved through resinous glaze, tapioca dextrin, and carnauba wax. Synthetic colorants Yellow 6, Red 40, and Blue 1 are listed to achieve the black coloring. BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) is present as a synthetic antioxidant to maintain freshness.
At 375 calories per 100 grams, gumballs are a high-calorie, carbohydrate-dense confection. Per 100g: 0.0g protein, 87.5g carbohydrates, and 0.0g fat, with no fiber. The carbohydrate content is almost entirely from added sugars. The calorie density is high by weight, though typical serving sizes are small (the listed serving is 8g). These are nutritionally empty calories with no protein, fat, or micronutrient value.
This product contains no declared major food allergens based on the ingredient list, though it is manufactured in facilities that may process other allergens. The presence of artificial colors (Yellow 6, Red 40, Blue 1) and BHT is notable for consumers avoiding synthetic additives. The product is theoretically vegan based on the ingredient list, though resinous glaze (shellac) is an animal-derived ingredient. This is a candy product intended purely for recreational consumption and should not be considered a source of nutrition.
