Not a great choice for everyday.

Fruit Gummies are ultra-processed because they contain several industrial formulations and additives: glucose syrup, dextrose, and maltodextrin are refined industrial sugars; fully hydrogenated palm vegetable oil is a highly processed fat; flavourings are industrial flavour additives; E471 and E322 are emulsifiers; and sorbitol is an industrial humectant. The product also uses added colours, including E160a and E120. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation rather than a minimally processed food.
