Why we picked it
-
Mezmo is trying to fix candy — real-fruit colour instead of synthetic dyes, added prebiotic fibre, no refined sugar.
-
Colour comes from fruit rather than synthetic dye.
-
It is still a sweet, and we would rather say that than sell it as a health food.

Questions people ask
Are these gummies vegetarian or vegan?
We cannot confirm that. If you need a guaranteed vegetarian or vegan gelling agent, these are not the pick for you.
Are they sugar-free?
No. The pack says no white sugar, but these are still sweet. We would rather call it a treat than a health food.
What gives them their colour?
Real tangelo orange, used instead of synthetic dye. The pack also names citrus peel fibre alongside the added prebiotic fibre.
Why are there no sugar or fibre numbers for this flavour?
Mezmo has not published a report for this flavour, unlike the other four in the range. We have asked them for it and will add it when it arrives.
Can the fibre upset my stomach?
Added prebiotic fibre can unsettle a stomach that is not used to it, so go easy if you are increasing fibre carefully.
