The Gelataro label divides into two lists. The Supplement Facts panel carries the nutrition rows and the one declared active with an amount beside it. Underneath the panel sits the other ingredients line, which names everything that makes the gummy a gummy.
The Gelataro Supplement Facts panel

Serving size is one gummy and the container holds thirty servings. Percent daily values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet; a double dagger marks a row for which no daily value has been established.
Apple cider vinegar in Gelataro
This is the single entry the panel gives an amount for: 250 mg per gummy. It is printed on its own line with its own figure rather than folded into a proprietary blend, which means the amount can be read directly off the jar and compared with anything else already on the shelf.
No daily value is established for apple cider vinegar, which is why the %DV column carries a double dagger against it rather than a percentage.
Other ingredients on the Gelataro label
- Cane sugar
- Glucose syrup
- Water
- Pectin
- Citric acid
- Sodium citrate
- Natural flavor
- Natural coloring
- Starch
Cane sugar and glucose syrup are the sweetening pair, and they are what the panel's 1.5 g of total sugars refers to. Pectin is the setting agent and the reason the supplied seal set carries a vegetarian mark: pectin comes from fruit, where gelatine does not.
Citric acid and sodium citrate work together in a pectin gummy — the first brings the acidity, the second buffers it, and between them they decide whether the sweet sets at all. Starch keeps the finished gummies from sticking to one another in the jar.
What the Gelataro panel does not carry
A proprietary blend. Everything with an amount has that amount printed next to it, and everything without one is named in the other ingredients line where amounts are not declared by convention.
Reading the Gelataro label yourself
The jar in your hand is the authority on all of this. What is set out here is a transcription of the supplied label and an explanation of what each line is for; the figures themselves belong to the panel.
