Advantages: Fruitilicious and delicious!

Disadvantages: lots and lots of sugar!!

Haribo Starmix ... yum yum yum.

...What are they?...
Haribo starmix are basically fruit flavoured jelly sweets really. They come in a variety of "shapes" and colours and tastes!

...Whats in them?...
Well they look like they are going to be full of artificial colourings and all the bad stuff. But they contain NO artificial colourings!!! The main ingredients are : Glucose syrup, sugar, Dextrose, Gelatine, citric acid, Caramelized sugar syrup, flavourings, fruit and plant concentrates (blackcurrent, grape, lemon, mango and orange for example), some glazing agents and some more sugar stuffs. So yes, it does contain quite a lot of sugar (63.4g per 100g to be precise.

...Nutritional Information...
So in 100g there is 344cals. Not so great - but are you really going to sit there and munch your way through 100g of Haribo? In 100g there is also 6.6g of protein and 79g of Carbs, only 0.2 g of fat and 0.1g that saturates. No salt or sodium. So it's not THAT bad!


..."Food Facts"...
Haribo starmix are :
Gluten free
Nut free
Milk free
Soya Free
Free from artificial colours too!

...Packaging...
My little bag of Haribo that I have in front of me now that I am munching away at is very brightly coloured - mainly blues and reds and yellows. It has "HARIBO STARMIX" written in big bright colours and it has a picture of a rocket with the little Haribo man in the window! There is also a transparent bit so you can see the lovely sweeties inside!! And the packaging is recyclable so even good for the environment!

...Shapes...
So the sweeties come in lovely shapes - hearts, gummy bears, rings, cola bottles, eggs - lots of fun things. And lots of nice colours - reds, yellows, oranges, greens etc etc.

...Taste...
They are gummy sweets. I loved them as a child, and I guess I havn't grown out of it yet!!! They are fruity flavours, orange and strawberry ones are my fav (the gummy bears are looovely!). They are chewy, and just lovely! They do remind me of childhood as I used to eat gummy sweets as a treat!

...Overall...
Taste = 10/10

Packaging = 9/10 (only because I think it is designed purely for children, yet loads of adults eat them too!!!)

Ingredients = 6/10 - it is full of sugar, but then again it is sweeties!

Summary: Lovely sweeties! 9/10
