What it is
Marshmallow flavored center is a sweet, soft, and chewy confection designed to mimic the taste and texture of marshmallows. It is typically made from sugar, corn syrup, water, and flavorings, often with added gelatin or other stabilizers to achieve its characteristic texture.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add marshmallow flavored center to provide sweetness and a distinct flavor profile. It is commonly found in candies, baked goods like cookies and cakes, and snack mixes, where it adds a soft, chewy element.
Health notes
Marshmallow flavored center is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is primarily a source of sugar, and like other sugary foods, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar ingredients, but no specific health claims are associated with this flavoring itself at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Marshmallow flavored center is not a major allergen. However, some formulations may contain gelatin, which is derived from animal collagen, or other ingredients that could be allergens.
