Läkerol Hot Pepper Sugarfree pastilles

Läkerol Hot Pepper Sugarfree pastilles are a distinctive confectionery product that combines the deep sweetness of liquorice with a spicy kick of hot pepper, all without any added sugar. These pastilles are crafted using sweeteners like maltitol, sorbitol, and steviol glycosides derived from stevia, making them suitable for those monitoring their sugar intake. The inclusion of ammonium chloride imparts a salty depth, characteristic of Scandinavian salmiak liquorice. Natural flavourings, vegetable oils (coconut and rapeseed), and vegetable carbon contribute to the pastilles' unique taste and appearance. The product is coated with carnauba wax, providing a smooth finish. Excessive consumption may have a laxative effect due to the presence of polyols. Läkerol, the brand behind these pastilles, was established in Sweden in 1909 and has been a cherished classic for over a century. The brand is currently owned by Cloetta, a leading confectionery company headquartered in Sweden. Cloetta operates in multiple countries, including Finland, where the pastilles are produced.
