About GLUCOSE TABLETS
Meijer Glucose Tablets in Fruit Punch flavor are a chewable carbohydrate supplement sold under the Meijer private label, formulated for fast blood sugar correction in hypoglycemic individuals. This fruit punch variant differs from the orange flavor version primarily in its color and flavoring agents.
The formula includes dextrose (D-glucose) as the primary active ingredient for rapid glucose delivery, with maltodextrin as a secondary carbohydrate source. Microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate are tablet-forming binders and lubricants standard in chewable supplement manufacturing. Citric acid provides tartness. Natural and artificial fruit punch flavor delivers the characteristic taste. Ascorbic acid is included as a stabilizing antioxidant.
Notably, this variant uses carmine as a colorant, derived from the dried bodies of the cochineal insect (Dactylopius coccus). Carmine is not vegan and is also flagged as a potential allergen for sensitive individuals, occasionally causing allergic reactions including anaphylaxis in rare cases. The label also states natural red color as an additional descriptor. The FDA requires carmine and cochineal extract to be declared by name on food labels.
Nutritionally, these tablets provide 375 calories and 100 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams, all from fast-acting sugars. A 4-gram serving provides the standard 15 grams of glucose used in clinical hypoglycemia protocols.
Consumers who are vegan, have insect-derived ingredient sensitivities, or are observing certain religious dietary laws should note the carmine content. Otherwise, these tablets serve the same rapid glucose-correction function as other variants in this product line.
