Hunts SnackPack Sugar Free Gel Snacks

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Jan 15, 2005

What exactly is a gel snack? Well, Jell-O is a brand name, and so it can't be called that exactly, but that is what it is. The impressive thing is that this product only has 5 calories, so not bad for a snack. But it really doesn't have anything else, no vitamins - no nutrients at all. It was very tasty and sweet - almost too sweet I'd say. For about $1.00, I wouldn't mind buying this as a little snack to take with me during the days.

This product notably does not contain gelatin, which is usually what is used to make gels in food products. Unfortunately, for some, gelatin comes from animals (their ligaments and tendons), thus vegetarians avoid products made using gelatin. This product, however, uses natural gums such as carrageenan and xanthan to achieve a similar 'gel' effect.
