Other ingredients
Burn Gummy sweeteners and the other 11 ingredients
Burn Gummy's other ingredients are maltitol, xylitol, water, pectin, rice flour, citric acid, acesulfame K, stevia leaf extract, sodium citrate, natural flavoring and FD&C Red 40. They sweeten, set and color the gummy. Two points matter most: xylitol is dangerous to dogs, and acesulfame K and a synthetic dye sit beside the brand's 'natural' wording.

What are the other ingredients in Burn Gummy?
The “other ingredients” line follows the facts panel and carries no amounts. In label order they are maltitol, xylitol, water, pectin, rice flour, citric acid, acesulfame K, stevia leaf extract, sodium citrate, natural flavoring and coloring (FD&C Red 40). Other ingredients are normally listed from most to least by weight, so the order is our only clue to proportions: maltitol and xylitol come first.
| Label line | What it is | Role | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maltitol | Sugar alcohol (sweetener) | Sweetener and bulking agent | Large amounts can loosen stools. (Makinen, Int J Dent 2016) |
| Xylitol | Sugar alcohol (sweetener) | Sweetener | Very dangerous for dogs: keep the jar out of reach. (FDA, Xylitol and dogs) (Makinen, Int J Dent 2016) |
| Acesulfame K | High-intensity sweetener | Sweetener | A synthetic sweetener: not 'all natural'. (FDA, Sweeteners in food) |
| Stevia leaf extract | Plant-derived sweetener | Sweetener | The label does not say how pure the extract is. (FDA, Sweeteners in food) |
| Water | Gummy base | Base | Nothing specific |
| Pectin | Fruit-derived gelling fiber | Gelling agent (the plant-based alternative to gelatin) | Nothing specific |
| Rice flour | Milled rice | Anti-stick and texture | Nothing specific |
| Citric acid | Fruit acid | Tartness and set | Nothing specific |
| Sodium citrate | Citrate salt | Acidity buffer | Nothing specific |
| Natural flavoring | Unspecified | Taste | The label does not say what it is made from. |
| Coloring (FD&C Red 40) | Certified synthetic color | Raspberry-red color | A synthetic dye: not 'free from artificial dyes'. (eCFR, 21 CFR 74.340 (Red 40)) |
The groups below each get their own treatment, starting with the sweeteners, which raise the most practical questions.
Sugar alcohols02
What are maltitol and xylitol, and can they upset your stomach?
Maltitol and xylitol are sugar alcohols: sweet, low in calories and only partly absorbed. That is why one gummy shows 0 calories and 1 g of carbohydrate on the label. The unabsorbed part ferments in the gut, which is the cause of gas and loose stools when intake climbs.
In studies cited in a review, 35 g of maltitol a day did not affect well-being or stools, 40 g caused mild gas and 45 g caused transient diarrhea in 29 of 34 people. (Makinen, Int J Dent 2016) The label does not give the maltitol content of one gummy, but it will be a small fraction of those amounts. Sensitivity differs, and people with irritable bowel syndrome notice smaller doses.
Xylitol can cause a rapid, dangerous drop in blood sugar in dogs within 10 to 60 minutes, with vomiting, weakness, collapse and seizures. If a dog may have eaten the gummies, call a vet or an animal poison hotline at once. (FDA, Xylitol and dogs)
Acesulfame K and stevia03
What do acesulfame K and stevia add?
Acesulfame K is a synthetic high-intensity sweetener that the FDA has approved for use in food. Stevia leaf extract is plant-derived; the FDA recognizes high-purity steviol glycosides, and the label does not state which purity is used. (FDA, Sweeteners in food) Together they supply sweetness without sugar.
| Sweetener | Type | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Maltitol | Sugar alcohol | Can loosen stools at high intakes |
| Xylitol | Sugar alcohol | Very dangerous to dogs |
| Acesulfame K | Synthetic, high-intensity | Not “all natural” |
| Stevia leaf extract | Plant-derived | Purity not stated on the label |
The gummy base04
What do pectin, rice flour, water and citrates do?
These are the structure. Pectin is a gelling fiber from fruit and replaces gelatin, so the gummy is plant-based in that sense. Rice flour keeps gummies from sticking together, water carries the mix, and citric acid and sodium citrate balance acidity and help the gel set.
None is dosed as an active ingredient and none is expected to affect weight. The only point to note is that rice flour is a grain, which a person with a specific grain allergy would want to know about, and that no allergen statement is visible in the label images we have.
Color and flavor05
Is FD&C Red 40 safe, and what is natural flavoring?
FD&C Red No. 40 is a certified synthetic color that US rules allow in foods, including dietary supplements, when each batch is certified. (eCFR, 21 CFR 74.340 (Red 40)) That is a legal listing, not a promise that every person tolerates it. Some people avoid synthetic dyes by preference, and for them the line matters, particularly because the brand's graphics promise “100% natural ingredients”.
Natural flavoring is a catch-all term. The label does not say what it is made from, so people with food allergies should ask the sales desk. The gummy's raspberry-red look comes from the dye; the pictured fruit in the brand art is decoration.

Where do these ingredient facts come from?
- Paws Off Xylitol; It's Dangerous for Dogs. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2025.Xylitol can cause a rapid, dangerous drop in blood sugar in dogs within 10-60 minutes of eating it, with vomiting, weakness, collapse and seizures. If a dog may have eaten a xylitol product, contact a vet or animal poison control right away. Xylitol does not trigger the same insulin release in people.
- Gastrointestinal Disturbances Associated with the Consumption of Sugar Alcohols with Special Consideration of Xylitol. Kauko K. Makinen, International Journal of Dentistry, 2016.Sugar alcohols may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, at least in people not used to them. In the cited studies 35 g of maltitol a day did not affect well-being or stools, 40 g caused mild gas, and 45 g caused transient diarrhea in 29 of 34 subjects; FDA lists maltitol as GRAS with a laxative warning above 100 g a day for adults. Xylitol is better tolerated than sorbitol or mannitol.
- 21 CFR 74.340 - FD&C Red No. 40. Electronic Code of Federal Regulations, 2026.FD&C Red No. 40 may be safely used for coloring foods (including dietary supplements) in amounts consistent with good manufacturing practice, and every batch must be certified. This is a legal listing, not a claim that every person tolerates it.
FAQ07
Sweetener and other-ingredient questions
Why is xylitol dangerous to dogs but not to people?
In dogs xylitol triggers a large insulin release and a sharp fall in blood sugar. In people it does not cause the same response. Keep every jar out of reach regardless.
Does Burn Gummy contain real sugar?
No sugar is listed. The sweeteners are maltitol, xylitol, acesulfame K and stevia leaf extract.
Can maltitol in gummies cause diarrhea?
At high intakes it can. One gummy is a small serving, but people who react to sugar alcohols may still notice gas or loose stools.
Is acesulfame K safe?
The FDA permits it as a sweetener in food. It is synthetic, so a product containing it is not free of artificial sweeteners.
Is FD&C Red 40 in every red gummy?
It is the listed color in Burn Gummy. It is a common food dye; the label does not say whether other colors are used.
What is natural flavoring?
An umbrella term for flavor from plant or animal sources. The label does not say which, so ask the desk if you have food allergies.
What should I do if my dog eats a Burn Gummy?
Call a vet or animal poison control immediately and say the product contains xylitol. Do not wait for symptoms.
