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.
