About BUTTERSCOTCH DISCS HARD CANDY, BUTTERSCOTCH DISCS

Butterscotch Discs Hard Candy is a classic hard candy product sold under Target's Market Pantry private-label brand, which is Target's value-tier store-brand grocery line. Categorized within candy, butterscotch discs are a traditional American hard candy format with a characteristic amber color and sweet, caramelized butter flavor.

The ingredient list leads with corn syrup as the primary ingredient by weight, followed by sugar — the two together comprising the sugar glass matrix of the hard candy. Salt is added for flavor balance. Artificial flavor provides the butterscotch taste note, as no actual butter or dairy is present in this formulation. Colorants include Yellow 5 (tartrazine), Yellow 6 (sunset yellow), and Red 40 (allura red), all synthetic azo dyes certified under US FDA regulations. The absence of dairy distinguishes this from some premium butterscotch formulations. No allergens beyond the colorants are present; however, artificial colors Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 may be associated with sensitivity in certain individuals.
