NUTRITIONAL INFO:
1. Instead of sucrose or "table sugar", Jelly Belly sugar-free candy contains Splenda, a low-calorie sweetener, as well as malitol, a member of the polyol family. Splenda is made from sugar that has been altered so it has no calories and is not metabolized by the body. Still, it tastes like sugar with no aftertaste. Polyols are derived from corn, produce a cool sensation on the tongue, and are non-cariogenic, which means that they do not promote tooth decay.
2. The new recipe for Sugar-Free Jelly Belly beans continues to use the polyol sweetener maltitol; however, they have removed the polyol sweetener lactitol from their recipe. It is commonly known that lactitol may cause gastric distress or a laxitive effect in sensitive individuals. Although both maltitol and lactitol are common sweeteners, some people may still experience gastric distress when consuming too much of foods sweetened only with maltitol. Because of this, Jelly Belly packages carry a warning against excessive consumption. They recommend starting with a small serving.
3. This candy contains 35% fewer calories per gram than regular Jelly Belly beans. It may be useful in the diet of a diabetic person on the advice of a physician.
4. Sugar-free ingredients produce a candy that is unique in texture and flavor. Be aware of these differences. The candy has a tendency to absorb moisture rapidly, especially if stored in high temperature and humidity conditions. The product should be stored at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 50% maximum relative humidity.
