Look for clear flavor, not just color
Gummy candy often uses color as shorthand, but color can mislead. A red gummy may be cherry, strawberry, raspberry, watermelon, or fruit punch depending on the brand.
The flavor guides below focus on how recognizable the fruit note feels and how sweetness, tartness, and texture support it.
- Read the flavor label.
- Check whether sour coating changes the profile.
- Do not buy by color alone.
