What it is

Candy sprinkles are small, colorful confectionery decorations. They are typically made from sugar, corn syrup, cornstarch, and artificial colors and flavors. The mixture is extruded into thin strands and cut into small pieces.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add candy sprinkles for visual appeal and a slight sweetness. They are commonly used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, cookies, doughnuts, and ice cream.

Health notes

Candy sprinkles are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are primarily composed of sugar, and excessive consumption of added sugars can contribute to health concerns. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated many of the individual ingredients used in sprinkles. Some artificial colors used in sprinkles have faced scrutiny, but are approved for use by the FDA.

Allergen info

Candy sprinkles are not typically derived from major allergens. However, some sprinkles may be manufactured in facilities that also process allergens, leading to a risk of cross-contamination. Check product labels for specific allergen warnings.
