Tag: Natural lollies

According to the Spoonful app, one popular brand of natural confectionery lollies is specifically flagged as not low FODMAP, largely due to high FODMAP ingredients that can cause digestive issues. This highlights a crucial point for those following a low FODMAP diet: the term 'natural' does not guarantee a product is gut-friendly and safe for consumption.

The term 'natural' is used so broadly on food packaging that nearly half of all snack products labelled 'natural' are actually considered unhealthy. This creates a common misconception that if a confectionery product is called 'natural', it must be a better choice for your health. So, are natural confectionery lollies healthy, or is it just clever marketing?
