Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Keep mixed candy in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, ideally in its tightly sealed original package or an airtight container. Humidity can make candies sticky, soft, or clumped together.
Refrigeration is usually unnecessary. Moisture and temperature changes in the refrigerator can affect texture, especially in hard and gummy candies.
Its shelf life after opening depends on the candy type and packaging, so follow the best-before date on the package. Keeping it airtight helps preserve flavor and texture for longer.
Freezing is not usually needed and may change the texture once the candy thaws. Gummies and other soft candies can become sticky from condensation.
Because it provides rapidly digested sugars, it can offer quick energy before short-term activity. It is not a balanced pre-workout meal on its own, and eating it immediately before exercise may upset sensitive stomachs.
It can contribute carbohydrate after long or intense exercise, but recovery also requires fluid and protein. Pairing it with a protein-containing food, such as yogurt or milk, is more balanced.
Mixed candy does not naturally contain caffeine, although some specialty products may include caffeine. Eating a large amount right before bed may still feel uncomfortable or leave sugar on the teeth overnight.
Oral bacteria use sugars to produce acids that can weaken tooth enamel. Sticky candies may remain on tooth surfaces longer, increasing exposure; drinking water afterward and regular brushing help reduce the risk.
Mixed candy is usually made mainly from sugar, syrup, flavorings, and colorings, while chocolate contains cocoa ingredients and typically more fat. They differ in texture and composition, and both are best treated as occasional sweets.
People managing diabetes, insulin resistance, or blood sugar control should be particularly mindful of portion size and timing. Small or hard candies can also be a choking hazard for young children and should be age-appropriate and supervised.
