About DARK GREEN MILK CHOCOLATE GEMS CANDY, DARK GREEN MILK CHOCOLATE
Meijer Dark Green Milk Chocolate Gems Candy is a private-label chocolate candy product under the Meijer brand of Meijer, Inc., headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The product consists of milk chocolate pieces coated in a hard sugar shell tinted dark green with artificial coloring, belonging to the broader category of candy-coated chocolate products common in seasonal and novelty confectionery.
Milk chocolate is the primary ingredient and is composed of sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate liquor, whole milk powder, lactose, soy lecithin, salt, and vanillin listed as an artificial flavor. The candy shell is made from sugar, artificial colorings (Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 5, Blue 1, Blue 1 Lake), gum arabic, corn syrup, and confectioner's glaze. The use of vanillin (synthetic vanilla) in the chocolate and FD&C dyes in the shell reflects a standard mass-market confection formulation. Allergens include dairy (whole milk powder, lactose) and soy (soy lecithin). The combination of Yellow 5 and Blue 1 dyes produces the green color of the candy shell.
Per 100 grams, this product delivers 450 calories with 22.5 g of fat, 72.5 g of carbohydrates, and 2.5 g of protein. Dietary fiber is 2.5 g per 100 g. Serving size is 40 g. The carbohydrate content is primarily from added sugars in both the chocolate and the shell coating. This product is high in calorie density consistent with sugar-shelled milk chocolate candies.
This product is a seasonal or novelty candy item. It is not appropriate for dairy-free or soy-free diets. Individuals sensitive to artificial dyes (particularly Yellow 5/tartrazine, which is subject to advisory labeling in some jurisdictions) should note the presence of FD&C colorings in the shell.
