However, it may be different if you’re against artificial colors. Looking at the Ingredients: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Malic Acid, Sodium Bicarbonate, Tartaric Acid, Artificial Flavors, Artificial Colors, Maltose Carbonate. All have the same ingredient structure, but the artificial flavors and colorants change depending on the flavor. Zotz flavors include cherry, blue raspberry, grape, apple, watermelon, & orange. Here’s an interesting video on how Zotz Candies are made: Naturally, it all comes down to personal taste, but something appears to have changed over time. I’m not sure if the recipe has changed, but recent reviews suggest the original product took longer to dissolve, which was more satisfying and made the Zotz unique. On the first bite, the mixture dissolves and a fizzing sensation takes over your taste buds. Zotz contains a mixture of malic and tartaric acid combined with sodium bicarbonate. This is a technically vegan product, but just like any other product, it might have entry barriers for some people.
Zotz has a mild sour flavor after you get through the initial explosive fizzing. Not the most popular product, but it’s one of those marbles that you won’t buy unless you can taste first. This being said, if you check the new franchise around the corner, you’re bound to find a lot of non-mainstream products that are vegan. Naturally, instead of heading off to the grocery store, you might as well ask uncle Google instead. In some cases, you immediately know, but for the most part, you have to check the product label. One of the first things brand-new vegans do is quickly find out whether their favorite foods are vegan.
