About MILK CHOCOLATE GEMS - RED CANDY, MILK CHOCOLATE GEMS - RED
Meijer's Milk Chocolate Gems in Red are candy-coated milk chocolate lentil-shaped pieces analogous to the M&M format, colored red for holiday and seasonal use. The milk chocolate center uses sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate liquor, whole milk powder, lactose, soy lecithin, salt, and vanillin (artificial flavor). The red candy shell is created with sugar, Red 40 Lake (a petroleum-derived synthetic dye), gum arabic, corn syrup, and confectioner's glaze.
Allergens include dairy (milk powder, lactose) and soy (lecithin). Vanillin is disclosed as an artificial flavor. Confectioner's glaze (shellac) is insect-derived and not vegan-suitable. Red 40 Lake is an aluminum lake form of Red 40, more stable in candy coatings than the soluble form. No HFCS or hydrogenated oils are present.
At 450 calories per 100 grams, 72.5 grams of carbohydrates, 22.5 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of protein, and 2.5 grams of fiber, these candy-coated chocolates are a high-sugar, moderate-fat confection. The lentil/gem format and red coloring make these popular for holiday baking (Christmas, Valentine's Day), cookie decorating, trail mixes, and party bowls. Meijer sells these as a private-label alternative to the national M&M format at a more competitive price.
