What it is
Heart sprinkles are small, decorative candies, typically shaped like hearts. They are usually made from sugar, corn syrup, cornstarch, and artificial colors and flavors. The mixture is then extruded or stamped into shape and dried.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add heart sprinkles primarily for decoration, adding visual appeal to baked goods and desserts. They are commonly found on cookies, cakes, cupcakes, and ice cream, as well as in mixes for these items.
Health notes
Heart sprinkles are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food decoration. They are primarily composed of sugar, and excessive consumption of added sugars can contribute to health issues. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated food additives, including those used in sprinkles, but do not set specific ADIs for decorative sugar items.
Allergen info
Heart sprinkles are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
