Description
Sula Mint Humbugs Sugar Free Sweets are boiled sweets in a 42g bag, sweetened without sugar. Sweets of this type use polyols, sugar alcohols that taste sweet but are absorbed slowly and incompletely. That slow absorption is why they are sold as sugar free, and it is also why eating a large quantity in one go can cause wind, bloating or a laxative effect.
The pack carries the required warning and states the polyol content. They are sweets rather than a health product, and they still contribute energy. Anyone managing diabetes should read the nutrition panel and count them within their usual plan rather than treating sugar free as meaning they can be eaten freely.
