About CHEWY CANDY
Market Pantry Chewy Candy is a gelatin-free chewy confection sold under Target's Market Pantry entry-level private-label brand. The product is a corn starch-based chewy candy relying on both modified corn starch and modified potato starch as its textural gelling agents rather than animal-derived gelatin, making it a gelatin-free (though not necessarily vegan) candy option in the chewy confection category.
Corn syrup and sugar form the dominant carbohydrate and sweetener base. Modified corn starch and modified potato starch, along with regular cornstarch, create the characteristic chew texture. Coconut oil, carnauba wax, and beeswax are surface finishing agents applied in trivially small amounts, noted in the original labeling as adding trivial amounts of fat. Natural and artificial flavor provides the candy's taste profile. Red 40 is the sole synthetic colorant.
Allergens: beeswax is animal-derived, which may be relevant to strict vegans. Carnauba wax is plant-derived (from Brazilian carnauba palm). No wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, nuts, or sesame allergens are listed. At 333 calories per 100g, calorie density is high from the sugar and corn syrup base. Per 100g macros are 0g protein, 83.33g carbohydrates, and 0g fat, with no dietary fiber. The 36g serving size is a practical single-serving candy portion. This product is gluten-free based on the ingredient declaration. The gelatin-free formulation makes it technically accessible to consumers avoiding pork gelatin, though the beeswax component would preclude strict vegan certification.
