I love jelly, always have. At 52yrs old I still make it for myself now and again, family think I'm mad. Nowadays I use the sugar free jelly which I make up in a jug and stick in the fridge, and often consume it in a oner.

So considering the ingredients are pretty much just man made chemicals, just how unhealthy it this stuff?

Pork Gelatine, Acid: Adipic Acid, Acidity Regulator: Trisodium Citrates, Flavourings, Sweeteners: Aspartame, Acesulfame K, Colours: Beetroot Red, Beta Carotene, Acid: Fumaric Acid.

OP, artificial sweeteners are prob the worst of that list health wise. Jelly isn't healthy by any means but there are prob worse things to be hooked on;)
I just assumed that the sugar free jelly would be less bad for me than the standard sugar type..

Sugar, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Water, Pork Gelatine, Acids: Citric Acid, Acetic Acid, Acidity Regulator: Sodium Citrates, Colours: Curcumin, Carmines, Mixed Carotenes, Flavouring

Have you tried the jelly from pork pies or the jelly from eels?
Yes but doesn't quite taste the same with ice cream smile
