Konjac Jelly Without Erythritol

Yes. Pac Pac Konjac Chews contain no erythritol and no sugar alcohols. We sweeten them with beet sugar instead, for a bright fruit-forward taste and the same chewy konjac jelly texture across all six flavors. Check each flavor's nutrition facts and ingredients before buying.

What's in Pac Pac Konjac Jelly

Every flavor — Yuzu Lemonade, Berry Punch, Peaches & Cream, Cherry Blossom, Matcha, and Mango — is sweetened with beet sugar, not erythritol or any other sugar alcohol. Ingredients and nutrition facts are on each product page; check the label for your flavor before buying, since exact numbers vary slightly by recipe.

Why We Use Beet Sugar

It's a recipe choice, not a health promise. We picked beet sugar for the taste and the ingredient list we wanted — not because we're claiming it's medically safer than the alternatives. For the fuller picture on sugar alcohols generally, see why sugar alcohols give you a stomach ache.

Beet sugar FAQ

  • It's a recipe choice, not a health claim. We wanted the taste and texture beet sugar gives our chews, so we use it instead of erythritol or other sugar alcohols. Every bag still stays under 5 grams of sugar.

  • Every flavor's full ingredients and nutrition facts are on its product page — check the label for your flavor before buying.

  • No. No erythritol, xylitol, or other sugar alcohols — the ingredients most often behind the bloating and stomach upset people get from “sugar-free” candy.

  • Under 5 grams per serving, all from beet sugar. Enough to taste like real fruit, low enough to stay a better-for-you snack.

  • Yes. Beet sugar is never filtered through bone char the way some cane sugar is, and our chews are 100% vegan and gluten-free.

  • It's the same sugar (sucrose), just sourced from sugar beets instead of cane. We use it in place of corn syrup and sugar alcohols, not on top of them.

  • Corn syrup is intensely sweet and absorbs fast; beet sugar is simpler and cleaner-tasting. See our full beet sugar vs corn syrup breakdown.
