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

Strawberry-banana flavor delivers sweet, slightly tangy profile with crisp loop texture that quickly softens in milk. Commonly eaten as a quick breakfast, snack, or yogurt topping, reviewers note kid-friendly taste, appealing fruit notes, occasional inconsistency in flavor intensity, and that pieces can lose crunch if left too long in milk.
