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

Commonly used for snacking, party bowls, and candy mixes, reviewers praise the vibrant taste and playful contrast while sometimes noting uneven cluster sizes, occasional overly firm pieces, and packaging issues.
