Frequently asked questions
What Makes Lifestyle Candy Special?
This dynamic category distinguishes itself by prioritizing consumer health and ethics:
- Sugar Focus (Sugar-Free / Low Sugar): The most dominant niche. Products are sweetened using alternatives like Stevia, Maltitol, or Erythritol, appealing to diabetics and those managing carb or sugar intake.
- Vegan / Gelatin-Free: Driven by massive demand for animal-free products. Gelatin is replaced by plant-based gelling agents (pectin, potato starch), resulting in a distinct, often softer texture.
- Natural Ingredients: Emphasis on avoiding artificial colorings, flavors, and preservatives. Colors often come from natural extracts like spirulina, radish, and safflower (Clean Label focus).
- Functional Additives: Some products bridge the gap between candy and supplements by including added benefits like protein, fiber, or vitamins.
What is the difference between gelatin-free and vegan?
Gelatin-Free means the product contains no gelatin (typically from pork or beef). Vegan is a broader term, meaning the product lacks all animal ingredients (gelatin, dairy, eggs, beeswax, carmine, etc.). The Vegan label is the definitive indicator of animal-free compliance.
Does sugar-free candy taste different?
Yes. Sugar-free candy, often sweetened with sugar alcohols (like Maltitol) or Stevia, can have a different sweetness profile and sometimes impart a slight cooling sensation in the mouth. However, modern flavor technology has made the taste differences minimal.
Is Lifestyle Candy actually healthy?
Lifestyle Candy is typically a better choice compared to traditional full-sugar confectionery if you have specific dietary needs (e.g., managing sugar levels, avoiding animal products, or seeking a specific color-free diet). They should still be viewed as a treat and consumed in moderation.
Which brands are leaders in the Lifestyle Candy segment?
Many brands are strong here. BUBS is a global leader in gelatin-free/vegan gummies. Candy People is strong in both vegan and sugar-free options. Malaco offers innovative "real fruit" gummies, demonstrating that major players are embracing conscious snacking.
