About BLACK SPARKLING GEL
Great Value Black Sparkling Gel is a decorative baking gel product sold under Walmart's Great Value store brand, intended for cake and dessert decoration. The primary ingredients are sugar and water, followed by corn syrup as additional sweetener. Modified potato starch and carrageenan provide the gel texture and consistency. Citric acid contributes mild tartness. Potassium sorbate is the preservative. Artificial flavor provides taste character. The black color is achieved through a combination of titanium dioxide (white opacifier) and three synthetic FD&C dyes: Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1, which in combination produce a dark tone approximating black when used at sufficient concentration. Titanium dioxide addition to this system assists in achieving the visual opacity needed for a black gel appearance.
Per 100 grams, this product contains 250 calories, 66.67 grams of carbohydrates, and 0 grams each of protein, fat, and fiber. The calories come entirely from the sugar and corn syrup content. Serving sizes in decorative gel products are typically small (6 grams per serving as indicated), so calorie contribution per use is minimal.
No allergens are present based on the ingredient list. The product is vegan-compatible and gluten-free. Titanium dioxide is an approved food colorant but has been subject to safety reviews in various jurisdictions; it remains approved by the FDA for use in food. The product contains artificial flavor and three synthetic FD&C dyes. It is strictly a decorative baking product, not a dietary food, used for writing or decorative designs on cakes, cookies, and pastries.
