Smart Sweets Sweet Fish
Summary
Smart Sweets Sweet Fish score 47/100 — the highest-scoring product on this arsenic list. Third-party 2025 testing detected 180 ppb arsenic — the lowest reading across the 28 candies tested. The ingredient panel is the cleanest in this dataset: natural colors from spirulina, turmeric, carrot juice, and annatto instead of petroleum dyes; stevia + allulose instead of triple sugar; no artificial flavors. Even so, the 180 ppb arsenic detection in a product marketed as the clean alternative is meaningful. Owned by Smart Sweets / Tiny Miracles Confectionery.
