Schuster Products LLC has announced the new Face Twisters Extreme Sour Gummies as a product that builds on the brand's dynamic candy capabilities to target consumer demands.
The product priorities a layered flavor profile experience that starts sour and turns sweet, and sets itself apart from the competition with pectin in the recipe rather than gelatin. This gives the candy a softer, cleaner bite that also makes it a vegan-friendly option to tap into a wider segment of consumers. The candy is positioned as being one of the sourest options on the market, and boasts a recipe that is free from artificial flavors, gluten and gelatin, as aforementioned.
Co-Founder of Schuster Products LLC Steve Schuster spoke on the Face Twisters Extreme Sour Gummies saying, "With nearly two-thirds of consumers purchasing gummies, the opportunity lies in delivering something different. This product combines intensity, texture, and a more modern ingredient profile to help retailers capture attention in a crowded set."
