About EASTER TAFFY
Meijer Easter Taffy is a seasonal chewy candy confection sold under the Meijer private-label brand from Meijer, Inc., the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Midwest supercenter chain. Categorized under Candy, this product is a soft-pull taffy style candy offered during the Easter holiday season in assorted flavors and colors.
The primary ingredients are corn syrup and sugar, which together form the bulk of this high-sugar confection. Coconut oil provides the fat component that contributes to taffy's characteristic chew and mouthfeel. Egg whites contribute to the aeration and texture of the candy. Natural and artificial flavors provide taste variety. Salt balances sweetness, and malic acid provides tartness. The product is colored with synthetic FD&C dyes: Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 3, and Blue 1 — a multi-dye combination used to achieve the assorted pastel colors typical of Easter candy products.
At 400 calories per 100 grams, this taffy is calorie-dense primarily through its very high carbohydrate content of 90 grams per 100 grams, with fat at 5 grams and protein at zero. Fiber is absent. The high sugar and corn syrup content reflects the standard taffy formulation. Allergens include eggs (egg whites). The use of Red 3 (erythrosine) is noteworthy as this FD&C dye has been subject to ongoing FDA regulatory review. Not suitable for vegans due to egg whites. No wheat or soy listed, which may make it appropriate for those avoiding gluten and soy if cross-contamination is not a concern.
