About GEL CUPS ORANGE
Kroger Gel Cups in Orange flavor are individual-serving, ready-to-eat gelatin dessert cups produced under The Kroger Co.'s flagship Kroger private-label brand. These cups are positioned as a low-calorie snack or dessert option sweetened entirely with non-nutritive sweeteners rather than sugar.
The formulation begins with water and gelatin as its structural base. Adipic acid and citric acid provide tartness. Flavoring comes from natural flavor, while color is achieved with Yellow 6 (sunset yellow), an FDA-certified synthetic dye. Potassium sorbate functions as a preservative. The sweetener system combines aspartame and acesulfame potassium, a common pairing that blends aspartame's clean sweetness with acesulfame-K's heat stability and synergistic enhancement. Aspartame contains phenylalanine, making this product unsuitable for individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU). Sodium citrate acts as a buffering agent.
A 92-gram serving provides only 5 calories, with 1.09 grams of protein from the gelatin and zero carbohydrates or fat. Per 100 grams, caloric density remains negligible at approximately 5 calories. The product is free of HFCS, added sugars, fat, and fiber.
Allergen considerations: gelatin is derived from animal collagen (typically porcine or bovine), making the product unsuitable for vegans and vegetarians. No wheat, soy, dairy, tree nuts, peanuts, eggs, or sesame are present. Yellow 6 has been associated with behavioral concerns in sensitive children in some European regulatory assessments, though it remains approved in the United States.
