About CHAI TEA CARAMELS, CHAI TEA
Meijer Chai Tea Caramels are a premium caramel candy sold under the Meijer private-label brand at Meijer supercenter locations in the Midwest. Meijer, Inc. is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. These are white chocolate-based soft caramels flavored with chai tea spices, representing a more artisanal-style confection within the Meijer private-label candy range.
White chocolate is the primary ingredient, formulated from cane sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk, sunflower lecithin (a non-GMO-associated emulsifier as an alternative to soy lecithin), and vanilla extract. Corn syrup contributes to the caramel's soft, chewy texture by preventing crystallization. Cane sugar provides additional sweetness. Cream (from milk) adds richness and a full dairy mouthfeel. Palm kernel oil serves as a fat contributor to the caramel body. Sea salt provides the characteristic salty-sweet balance. Sunflower lecithin is used again as an emulsifier. Natural flavor reinforces the chai character. Spices — specifically cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and cardamom — provide the authentic chai tea spice blend that defines the product. Tapioca syrup and tapioca dextrin serve as additional carbohydrate and coating agents. Confectioner's glaze (shellac) is used as a finishing coating.
Per 100 grams, these caramels provide 467 calories, 3.33 g of protein, 60 g of carbohydrates, 23.33 g of fat, and no fiber. Allergens include dairy (whole milk in white chocolate, cream). No wheat, eggs, soy, tree nuts, or peanuts are listed. The shellac component renders this product unsuitable for strict vegans. The use of sunflower lecithin rather than soy lecithin makes this soy-free, a distinguishing characteristic for soy-sensitive consumers.
