About ORANGE GUMBALLS, ORANGE
Meijer Orange Gumballs are a confectionery product from the Meijer brand, the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Midwest supercenter chain. These gumballs are made from sugar, dextrose, gum base, corn syrup, natural and artificial flavors, and glycerin, with a resinous glaze (shellac) coating, tapioca dextrin, and carnauba wax for the shiny shell exterior. Yellow 6 provides the orange color. BHT is used as an antioxidant preservative to maintain freshness.
Resinous glaze (shellac) is derived from the secretions of the lac bug, an insect, making these gumballs non-vegan. Carnauba wax, in contrast, is plant-derived. The gum base contains synthetic rubber and plasticizer compounds standard in commercial gum production. At 375 calories per 100 grams with 87.5 grams of carbohydrates from sugar and dextrose, these gumballs are essentially pure sugar with negligible protein, fat, or fiber. The 8-gram serving size reflects a small handful of gumballs.
BHT is a synthetic antioxidant preservative that some consumers prefer to avoid. Yellow 6 is a synthetic dye. No major allergens — wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, nuts, sesame — are listed, though gum base composition is typically proprietary. No HFCS, TBHQ, or PHOs are present. These gumballs are an occasional candy treat rather than a nutritional food, most appropriate as a novelty confectionery for casual snacking, vending situations, and children's parties.
