About CARAMEL PEANUTS, CARAMEL
Meijer Caramel Peanuts are a candy-coated nut snack sold under the Meijer private-label brand at Meijer supercenter locations across the Midwest. Meijer, Inc. is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This product consists of whole peanuts coated in a caramel-flavored sugar shell, a classic American confectionery format sometimes called "glazed peanuts" or "caramel nuts."
Peanuts are the primary ingredient by weight, providing the protein and fat foundation of the product. Sugar is applied as the coating base. Water is used in the coating process. A flavoring compound made from cane sugar, water, natural flavors, citric acid (a preservative), sodium benzoate (a preservative), and potassium sorbate (a preservative) delivers the caramel flavor and provides shelf stability. The formulation is notably simple, with peanuts and sugar comprising the overwhelming majority of the product.
Per 100 grams, these caramel peanuts provide 500 calories, 14.29 g of protein, 64.29 g of carbohydrates, 25 g of fat, and 3.6 g of dietary fiber. The protein content is high for a confectionery product, attributable to the peanut base. The fat content is substantial, also from the peanuts. The carbohydrate content reflects the sugar-based coating. Allergens include peanuts. No wheat, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, or soy are listed. The product is technically vegan based on the ingredient list. Suitable for individuals with soy and dairy sensitivities. The simple ingredient list makes this one of the more transparent confectionery-coated nut products in the Meijer line.
