About CHERRY EASTER COTTON CANDY, CHERRY
Meijer Cherry Easter Cotton Candy is a seasonal confection sold under the Meijer private-label brand within the candy category, offered at Meijer supercenter stores across the Midwest. Meijer, Inc. is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Cotton candy is a spun sugar confection produced by melting sugar granules and forcing the liquid through tiny holes where it re-solidifies into fine threads; this variant is marketed for Easter seasonal retail.
The ingredient list is minimal: sugar is the primary ingredient, followed by powdered sugar (sugar and cornstarch), Red 40 (a synthetic azo dye), and natural and artificial flavor. Cornstarch in the powdered sugar is a minor functional ingredient to prevent caking. FD&C Red 40 imparts the characteristic cherry-red color.
Nutritionally, this product is essentially pure sugar, with 393 calories per 100 grams, 100g carbohydrates, and no protein, fat, or dietary fiber. The calorie content is lower than candy canes on a per-gram basis due to the aerated structure of cotton candy, which has lower volumetric density. No allergens are listed beyond the cornstarch component, which is gluten-free. However, the powdered sugar contains cornstarch which may be of concern for individuals with corn sensitivity. The product is free of wheat, dairy, eggs, nuts, and soy. Red 40 is a synthetic dye and some consumers choose to avoid it. The product is technically vegan but contains artificial flavor.
