ISM Functional Sweets – Sweets with added value
What if snacking didn't just mean tasty enjoyment, but actually also offered added value for our health? If a small fruit gum could promote sleep, a candy support the immune system or a herbal sweet help relieve stress?
"ISM Functional Sweets", is allowing sweets to gain a new significance: At ISM 2026 we are presenting an own theme section for functional sweets for the first time - in the Lab5 by ISM, Hall 10.1.
The focus lies on products with added value: innovative, health-promoting, future-oriented. Between the scent of lavender and floral design elements we will show how modern sweets are conceived today - as small everyday assistants, conscious snacking and part of a healthy lifestyle.
Whether probiotics for healthy intestinal flora, melatonin for better sleep, botanicals for inner balance or vitamins for more energy:
This category unites functional ingredients with familiar forms - and thus becomes the smart answer to new consumer habits and needs.
Who is spot on here
The following can be found here:
- Functional sweets and fruit gums
- Products with herbs, vitamins, minerals, collagen or plant extracts
- Sweets that selectively address themes like sleep, concentration, digestion or immune defence.
- And manufacturers who are rethinking confectionery - natural, healthy and cleverly presented
More than a trend. A promise.
Functional confectionery is not hype - it is the logical answer to what modern consumers are looking for: Indulgence that does you good. Sweets that are conscious. Products that combine what used to be separate: feeling good and snacking.
ISM Functional Sweets makes this visible - and tangible.
