Brittle Boxes for Confectionery & Candy in Fresno
Sugar-free candy boxes serve the health-conscious confectionery category's most regulated product segment -- the sugar-free candies, diabetic-friendly confections, keto-compliant sweets, and reduced-sugar treats that use FDA-approved sugar substitutes (erythritol, xylitol, stevia, maltitol, sorbitol) to achieve candy flavor profiles without sucrose. Sugar-free candy packaging must communicate the specific sweetener used, any laxative effect warnings required for certain sugar alcohols, and the specific health positioning (diabetic-friendly, keto-compliant, reduced calorie) that motivates sugar-free candy purchase.
FDA Sugar Alcohol Warning Requirements
Sugar-free candy products containing more than 50g of sorbitol or more than 20g of mannitol per day's suggested consumption must carry FDA-required laxative effect warning on packaging: excess consumption may have a laxative effect. Many sugar-free candies use maltitol, sorbitol, xylitol, or other sugar alcohols as primary sweeteners at quantities that trigger this warning requirement. Packaging must include this warning when the daily consumption quantity of applicable sugar alcohols reaches the threshold, regardless of the product's overall health positioning.
Keto and Low-Carb Candy Positioning
Keto-compliant candy packaging communicates net carbohydrate content as the primary specification for the keto consumer: net carbs per serving (total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber minus sugar alcohols = net carbs, though FDA does not officially endorse the net carb calculation). For keto candy brands, net carb communication prominence on packaging is as important as calorie communication on mainstream candy. Erythritol is preferred over maltitol for keto candy because erythritol has minimal blood glucose impact while maltitol has a more significant glycemic impact that may affect ketosis.

Brittle Boxes in Fresno — FAQs
What FDA labeling is required for sugar-free candy packaging?
Sugar-free candy FDA labeling requirements: Nutrition Facts panel (must include sugar alcohols as a line item when present in significant amounts, no added sugars communication when applicable), ingredient list (all sweeteners listed by name -- erythritol, xylitol, maltitol, sorbitol, stevia extract, monk fruit extract), allergen declaration, net weight, and required laxative effect warning when sorbitol exceeds 50g/day or mannitol exceeds 20g/day in the suggested consumption quantity. Sugar-free claim requires zero grams of sugar per serving with less than 5 calories from sugar.
What sweetener communication is most effective for sugar-free candy packaging?
Sugar-free sweetener communication by type: erythritol (naturally occurring sugar alcohol in fruits, minimal glycemic impact, 0 net carbs per FDA calculation, preferred by keto consumers), xylitol (sugar alcohol from birch bark or corn, similar taste to sugar, moderate glycemic impact, toxic to dogs -- packaging should note keep away from dogs for xylitol products), stevia (plant-derived zero-calorie sweetener from Stevia rebaudiana leaves, zero glycemic impact), and monk fruit extract (Chinese fruit-derived zero-calorie sweetener, zero glycemic impact). Each sweetener's identity communicates specific health positioning.
What is the no added sugar claim and when can packaging use it?
No added sugar claim requirements under FDA 21 CFR 101.60: no sugar or sugar-containing ingredient has been added during processing or packaging, the product contains no ingredients that are sugars themselves (sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, honey, maple syrup, agave), and the label does not imply that the product is low in calories. Products with no added sugar that still contain naturally occurring sugars (fructose from fruit ingredients) must disclose the natural sugar content in the Nutrition Facts. No added sugar is not synonymous with sugar-free -- naturally occurring sugars may still be present.
What net carb communication standards should keto candy packaging follow?
Keto candy net carb communication: FDA does not officially recognize the net carb calculation, but keto community convention is total carbohydrates minus fiber minus sugar alcohols = net carbs. Erythritol is typically fully subtracted (minimal insulin response), while other sugar alcohols (maltitol, xylitol) are typically subtracted at 50% due to their partial glycemic impact. Packaging communicating net carbs should specify the calculation method used and note that net carb calculations are based on the effect of fiber and sugar alcohols on blood glucose. This transparency prevents consumer confusion about the calculation methodology.
What is the minimum order for custom sugar-free candy boxes?
Our minimum order is 100 units for custom sugar-free candy boxes. Sugar-free and keto candy programs typically run 500-5,000 units per SKU. The diabetic-friendly and keto confectionery market is growing significantly.
