About CHERRY CANDY CANES, CHERRY
Meijer Cherry Candy Canes is a seasonal confection sold under the Meijer private-label brand within the candy category, available at Meijer supercenter stores throughout the Midwest. Meijer, Inc. is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Candy canes are a traditional peppermint- or fruit-flavored hard sugar candy shaped into a curved hook, typically associated with the winter holiday season.
The primary ingredients are sugar and corn syrup, which together constitute the bulk of the product by weight. Citric acid provides tartness, while artificial flavor supplies the cherry character. Sodium citrate functions as a buffering agent. The product is colored with FD&C Red 40 and FD&C Yellow 6, both synthetic petroleum-derived dyes. Glycerin is listed, likely functioning as a plasticizer or humectant to manage texture. The fat content from palm oil and canola oil, while listed, is negligible given the small serving size (14g). Sunflower lecithin serves as an emulsifier.
Nutritionally, candy canes are essentially pure sugar. Per 100 grams, this product provides 429 calories, 100g carbohydrates, 0g protein, and 0g fat — a profile entirely driven by sugar content. There is no dietary fiber, no protein, and no micronutrient contribution. The product contains artificial flavors and synthetic food dyes (Red 40 and Yellow 6). No wheat, dairy, eggs, nuts, or soy allergens are listed. The product is technically vegan in composition, though consumers avoiding artificial dyes or palm oil should note these ingredients.
