      Are Werther’s Original products free from nuts?

      Are Werther's Original products Gluten-Free?

      Do Werther's Original products contain alcohol?

      Alcohol is not an ingredient of the various Werther's Original products. However, some flavourings may contain alcohol as they can only be extracted with the aid of alcohol and therefore come into contact with alcohol in the course of the extraction process. The volume of alcohol that reaches the end product in this way is roughly equivalent to the volume of alcohol that ordinary fruit juices contain due to the natural fermentation of the fruit.

      What is the artificial sweetener used in the No Sugar Added Werther’s Original caramels?

      The primary sugar substitute used is Isomalt and the artificial sweetener used is Acesulfame – K (ace-k). The acesulfame K does not contain aspertame. There is no aspartame in Werther’s Original No Sugar Added Caramels. In addition, our product includes sucralose.”

      Since Werther’s Original No Sugar Added Caramels have no added sugar, are they also calorie free?

      Werther's Original No Sugar Added Caramels are 15 calories per serving.

      How many carbohydrates are in the No Sugar Added products?

      Each piece of Werther’s Original No Sugar Added has about 3g of carbs. The serving size of Werther's Original No Sugar Added is 1-2 pieces (5g) and the carb amount per serving is 4-5g depending on the flavour.  We recommend checking the nutritional information on the back of the package. 

      Why do your No Sugar Added caramels have a laxative warning on the package?

      These caramels contain Isomalt, a common ingredient found in most No Sugar Added candies, and you will find this same laxative warning printed on most No Sugar Added candy products. There is not a defined amount of candy that can be consumed before you will feel any ill effects & some consumers do not have any side effects. The laxative effect is determined by how your individual body reacts to this kind of ingredient.
