3 Musketeers ingredients: what's banned overseas?

Parent company: Mars Inc.

About 3 Musketeers

3 Musketeers is a chocolate-covered nougat candy bar produced by Mars Inc., one of the oldest US candy bars sold since 1932. It is marketed as lower in fat than other candy bars due to its whipped nougat center. Sold at grocery chains, convenience stores, and mass retailers, 3 Musketeers is a perennial member of the Halloween candy aisle.

Common concerns with 3 Musketeers products

3 Musketeers contains PGPR, artificial flavors, and hydrogenated palm kernel oil in the chocolate coating. The nougat contains high-fructose corn syrup and corn syrup as the primary sweeteners. Despite being marketed as lower-fat than competing bars, the ultra-processed nature of the product — with HFCS as the dominant sweetener and synthetic emulsifiers in chocolate — makes it a significant additive-concern candy.
