Common questions

Is Nerds Candy Grape healthy?

Nerds Candy Grape scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Nerds Candy Grape lists 14 ingredients, starting with Malic Acid, Dextrose, Sugar, Blue 1 and Blue 1 Lake. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
