About GLITTER GELS
Great Value Glitter Gels are decorative, edible gel toppings sold under Walmart's Great Value brand for use in cake decorating, cookie decoration, and other confectionery applications. At 278 kcal per 100 g (as a dense sugar gel), these are a high-sugar specialty topping not intended for direct consumption in large quantities.
The ingredient profile is sugar, water, corn syrup, modified corn starch, and carrageenan (a seaweed-based thickener) — a standard confectionery gel base. FD&C Yellow 5, Blue 1, and Red 40 are the synthetic colorants creating the glitter effect alongside mica-based pearlescent pigment, which is FDA-approved for use in food but provides the shimmer effect typical of edible glitter gels. Citric acid is for tartness and preservation, and potassium sorbate inhibits mold.
Allergens: none of the eight FASTER Act allergens are listed. Vegan-friendly (carrageenan is seaweed-derived). Gluten-free. No HFCS — corn syrup (which is not HFCS) is present. Carrageenan is an FDA-approved additive though some consumers prefer to avoid it. The FD&C synthetic dyes and mica pigment are the key decorative ingredients. Used to add a festive, sparkling finish to cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. A common item in Walmart's seasonal baking supplies section.
