Gummies are candy-adjacent, so sugar deserves a careful look. The good news is that a label gives you the numbers you need to decide.

Read it per serving

Compare sugar at the same serving size. A serving of Punchies is five gummies and the label lists under 4g of sugar. Another gummy with a serving of two pieces will look lower even if the sugar per gummy is higher, so check the serving size every time.

Look at the sweetener

Sugar is not all the same on a label. Punchies use organic raw cane sugar and organic tapioca syrup and list no artificial sweeteners. Whether that matters is a choice for your family.

Zoom out to the whole day

A few grams in a gummy is small next to juice, flavored yogurt or cereal. Add up the day rather than judging one snack. Dental habits matter too: rinse with water after sticky snacks and keep brushing.

Ask your pediatrician

Sugar guidance for children differs by age and health. Your pediatrician or dentist can advise. The label for best protein gummies for kids is posted online. For a broader read, Packing a backpack snack that survives the whole day on kidfriendlyproteingummy.com.
