Scout's take
Candy coating is primarily composed of sugar and additives like rice starch and gum arabic, which are processed ingredients. It adds to the product's sugar content and processing level. The use of additives indicates a high level of processing.
The case against
High sugar content and additives may contribute to health issues such as obesity and metabolic syndrome.
