Zitronenmelisse
Product Insights
Zitronenmelisse is a sugar‑free lemon‑balm flavored candy from Ricola, sold in a 50 g plastic box and classified under the Sugary snacks group. It delivers virtually no fat, salt or added sugars and provides vitamin C and a herbal extract, yet it relies on artificial sweeteners (aspartame, acesulfame‑K), a citrus acid, menthol and a beta‑carotene colour, leading to an ultra‑processed NOVA 4 status. The Nutri‑Score B reflects its low fat and sugar content, but consumers should note the high polyol carbohydrate load and the phenylalanine source from aspartame.
