Nutritional & Ingredient Warnings/Concerns

1. High Sugar Content:

   • Like most sour candies, Too Tart Sour Orbs contain sucrose, glucose, or high-fructose corn syrup as primary ingredients.
   • A typical serving (e.g., 1 orb) may contain ~5–10g of sugar, with some flavors exceeding this. Overconsumption can contribute to dental issues, hyperactivity in children, or blood sugar spikes.

2. Artificial Additives:

   • Contains artificial flavors, colors (e.g., FD&C Blue No. 1, Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5/6), and preservatives (e.g., sodium benzoate).
   • Some consumers prefer to avoid artificial dyes, which may be linked to behavioral effects in sensitive individuals (though regulatory agencies like the FDA consider them safe at approved levels).
