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

Tangy citrus sourness gives way to a sweeter fruit finish; a soft, slightly chewy jelly bean texture with a faint sugary coating. Commonly eaten as a snack, movie candy, or party favor, reviewers note faithful candy flavors, kid appeal, occasional uneven sour intensity, and packaging convenience for sharing, age appeal.
