Dietitian note

Citric acid, a common food additive, is a known GERD trigger due to its high acidity, which can directly irritate the esophagus. It can also weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up and cause heartburn. Furthermore, even small amounts of citric acid can significantly increase stomach acid production, worsening reflux symptoms.

Description

Sweet strawberry flavor comes through as bright and candy-like, delivered in a long, pliable ribbon with a consistently chewy, slightly sticky texture. Commonly eaten as a handheld snack, lunchbox treat, party favor or playful craft, reviewers note enjoyable taste and texture but sometimes leaves an overly sweet or sticky residue.
