Common questions

Sugar-free, answered.

Which sweeteners do you use?

VivaPop Sugar Free uses isomalt and maltitol syrup with no aspartame. Other systems are evaluated per project for process stability, taste and the claims you need.

Can I add vitamins or caffeine to a sugar-free lollipop?

Yes. Sugar-free carriers for vitamin C, caffeine and electrolytes are scoped for dose, taste and labeling.

Is it suitable for diabetic-friendly or dental positioning?

Low-acid, dental and better-for-you positioning can be developed, including xylitol systems. Claims are defined for your market.

What is the minimum order?

Minimums depend on format: 60,000 pieces for round lollipops, 100,000 for flat lollipops and 150,000 for lozenges, so you don't need a full container to launch. Smaller runs are sometimes possible at a higher unit cost. Two sample rounds are included in your pricing.

How long does it take?

About 14–16 weeks from brief to arrival at your US port for most programs. See how production works.
