Keto Candy

We ran 1,802 candy through our keto rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 1,722 don't make it.

Sweets are concentrated sugar, so the fail rate here approaches total. Sugar-free gums and confectionery sweetened with polyols are the main survivors. If an ordinary gummy or lollipop ever appears as a pass, treat it as a data gap and read the packet.

Check the label first

For these, the data is incomplete or an ingredient can go either way. We say so instead of guessing. Tap one to see exactly what's unclear.

Verdicts are automated checks based on Open Food Facts data. Formulations change, so always confirm on the physical label.
