Can monk fruit or stevia make a gummy chewy by itself?

No. They can provide sweetness, but chew depends on the gel, solids, water and process system.

Does allulose solve the texture gap?

It may provide body or solids in some systems and markets, but it can also change moisture, gel behavior, color and label review. Test it in the real gummy.

Is a softer gummy always a failed gummy?

No. The target texture matters. Compare the sample with the agreed control and sensory target rather than one hardness number.

What should a buyer send before asking for a sample?

Send target market, product type, packaging specification, estimated quantity, required certificates/documents and whether samples are needed, plus the gel system and main texture issue.
