Candy: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Candy is a broad category of sweet products, including items like lollipops, chocolate bars, and gummy candies. These treats are generally enjoyed for their taste and are often considered occasional indulgences. When choosing candy, the Nutrition Facts label can help you understand its contents. A key nutrient to observe is "Added Sugars." The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest limiting added sugars, recommending no more than 10 grams per meal. Many candies contain significant amounts of added sugars. For chocolate varieties, check the "Saturated Fat" content. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of total daily calories. While not a primary concern for most candies, the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. The ingredient list will show you the main components, with ingredients listed in order of amount. Sugars, such as corn syrup or sucrose, are often among the first ingredients in candy. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
