★☆☆☆☆
DANGEROUSLY MISLABELED. Not for diabetics or anyone who shouldn’t be eating candy.
Edit: the product has been reformulated with less isomalto-oligosaccharide and on the new nutrition facts it reads 29g net carbohydrate instead of 5g. If this were true, it would be around 30% less carbohydrate than in normal peach rings, although personally I would view the new label with suspicion based on how false the old one was. NOT LOW-CARB, NOT FOR DIABETICS, NOT LOW-SUGAR. Wow, do I wish I’d read the negative reviews. The main ingredient, “tapioca fiber,” is isomalto-oligosaccharide. It’s a chain of glucose molecules and multiple recent studies show it acts just like glucose in your body. These candies are made of tapioca-derived sugar. The FDA *DOES NOT* consider IMO to be fiber, but until 2021 companies earning less than $10 million in revenue don’t have to change their nutrition panels or reformulate, so this outrageous, dangerous scam is currently legal. It makes me feel queasy reading all these reviews from parents feeding them to their kids, people trying to lose weight, people who are being materially harmed by this product. These could literally kill a diabetic. I’m contacting customer support about this separately.
