SmartSweets Celebrates 10 Years with New Candy Salad Sweet-And-Sour Mix
VANCOUVER, CANADA (JULY 15, 2026) – SmartSweets, a trailblazer in the better-for-you candy space and the original innovator of low-sugar candy, announced today the launch of Candy Salad, a sweet-and-sour mix of best-selling and new flavors to celebrate its 10th birthday.
SmartSweets Candy Salad brings together five delicious flavors in cute mini shapes: Berry Sweet Fish, Lime Twist Bears, Sour Grapes, Sour Peaches, and Sourmelon Bites, all in one snack-ready bag with 87% less sugar than traditional gummy candy. With only 3g of sugar per bag, Candy Salad contains no artificial flavors or sweeteners, no high fructose corn syrup or synthetic dyes, and is colored with real fruit and vegetable juices.
SmartSweets Candy Salad is the brand's take on the fast-growing candy mix trend, delivering on consumer demand for sweet and sour variety.
“Applying SmartSweets mission to Kick Sugar, Keep Candy to one of the biggest trends in the category is a natural extension of our top-selling SKUs,” said Roanna Wang, Brand Director at SmartSweets. “Consumers want sweet and sour at the same time – but they don’t want the sugar that comes in a traditional mix. This gives them all of their favorite SmartSweets candies, along with a new Gummy Bear and a new top-requested grape-flavored gummy, as well as 6g of fiber per bag.”
SmartSweets Candy Salad is a permanent addition to the SmartSweets lineup and is available now at Target, Sprouts, Hy-Vee, H-E-B, Walgreens, Harris Teeter, and amazon.com. For more information, please visit SmartSweets.com.
