White powdery sour sugar on Sour Patch Kids candies.

Sour sanding, or sour sugar, is a food ingredient that is used to impart a sour flavor, made from citric or tartaric acid and sugar. It is used to coat sour candies like Sour Patch Kids or to make hard candies tart, such as SweeTarts.

Eating large amounts of sour candies can cause irritation of the tongue because of the acid effect. It can also cause irreversible dental erosion.[1][2]

Stabilizers are used to keep it from getting moist or clumping.
