Gut-Friendly Candy Products

Savvy Sweets Comes in Four Delicious and Familiar Varieties

Savvy Sweets are a new range of guilt-free candy products hitting the UK market to provide consumers with a delicious yet lifestyle-conscious option for satisfying cravings for sweet treats.

The product range includes the Sour Cola Bears, Sour Bears, Fruit 'n Cream Bears and Berry Bears, which are each crafted with no added sugar and feature prebiotic fiber for a gut-friendly profile. The products are 100% plant-based and are a great option for consumers with diabetes to enjoy in moderation thanks to their low-sugar formulation.

A spokesperson for the brand commented on the new Savvy Sweets saying, "Our proud legacy of sweet innovation spans over 100 years in Australia. With the UK’s functional foods movement gaining real momentum, we saw an opportunity to introduce ourselves. Unlike some peers, who simply shuffle around unsavoury artificial sweeteners to navigate HFSS rules, we’ve always stayed true to our all-natural stance, prioritising both great taste and nutritional integrity.”
