About CHERRY CANDY CANE, CHERRY
Wondershop Cherry Candy Cane is a holiday confectionery product sold under Target's Wondershop private-label brand, which focuses exclusively on seasonal holiday products for the Christmas and winter holiday season. Candy canes are traditional hard sugar candies in a curved cane shape, flavored and colored in the classic red-and-white striped format. This variant uses cherry flavor in place of the traditional peppermint.
The primary ingredient is sugar, followed by corn syrup as a secondary sweetener and texture agent. Minor ingredients present at less than 2% include citric acid for tartness, natural and artificial flavors for the cherry profile, palm oil and glycerine (from vegetable sources) as processing aids for workability and moisture retention in the candy mass, and four artificial colors: Red 40, Blue 1, Red 3, and Yellow 5. The combination of multiple red and blue synthetic dyes to achieve cherry color is notable — Red 3 (erythrosine) in particular has been subject to regulatory scrutiny, as the FDA proposed banning it from certain food uses in 1990 based on animal studies (though it remains permitted in candy and maraschino cherries as of the current regulatory period).
No major food allergens are apparent from the ingredient declaration. The product contains no dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, nuts, or sesame. At 353 calories per 100g, this is a high calorie-density product composed almost entirely of sugar. Per 100g macros are 0g protein, 94.12g carbohydrates, and 0g fat, with no dietary fiber. The product is technically vegan and gluten-free based on listed ingredients, though the primary health concern is its pure sugar composition and synthetic dye content.
