Our Verdict
Pros & Cons
What We Love
- No shellac glaze, gelatin or synthetic dyes
- Organic cane sugar, so no bone char
- Free from the top nine allergens
- Individually wrapped
Room for Improvement
- No third-party vegan certification, brand claim only
- Costs several times more per ounce than Just Born candy
- Uses palm oil, which adds saturated fat
Our Full Review
YumEarth Organic Chewys are a vegan fruit chew by brand statement, and one of the few mainstream-style chewy candies with no shellac glaze, gelatin or synthetic dye.
Ingredients and nutrition
The list is short: organic rice syrup, organic cane sugar, organic palm oil, natural flavors, citric acid, organic sunflower lecithin, organic turmeric extract, organic fruit and vegetable concentrates and pectin. Pectin replaces gelatin, and color comes from turmeric and fruit and vegetable concentrates. The cane sugar is USDA Organic, which rules out bone char filtering.
A five-piece serving has 110 calories, 2.5 g fat (1 g saturated), 0 mg sodium and 16 g added sugars. That is about the same calories as Mike and Ike or Hot Tamales, with slightly less sugar and a little more fat from the palm oil.
Vegan status
YumEarth states the chews are vegan and free from the top nine allergens. We found no third-party vegan certification on the product page, so the verdict rests on the brand's claim. The natural flavors are covered by that claim.
Who should buy or skip it
- Buy it if you want a fruity chew without insect-derived glaze or artificial dyes, or need allergy-friendly candy.
- Skip it if you want the firm, glossy bite of Mike and Ike, or if price per ounce matters most.
