Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers
Summary
Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers scores 15/100. Third-party 2025 testing detected 430 ppb arsenic. Titanium dioxide (banned as a food additive in the European Union in 2022 over genotoxicity concerns) is used as an opacifier, and four petroleum-derived synthetic dyes (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1) deliver the rainbow color. Owned by Ferrara Candy Company.

Contaminants 1
Source: Independent third-party laboratory testing
Arsenic 430 ppb High
Detected at a high level — at or above health-based exposure limits. Regular exposure at this level is a genuine health concern. No safe level of arsenic exposure exists; chronic exposure is linked to increased cancer risk (lung, skin, kidney, bladder), cardiovascular disease, and neurodevelopmental harm in children.
Independent third-party testing detected arsenic at 430 parts per billion — a severe contamination level.
