Aside from liability, this is likely why they dance around these questions on their FAQ page:

DOES YOUR CANDY IMPACT BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS?
We know everyones' bodies function differently, so blood sugar response is very individual. We encourage you to chat with your doctor if you have any questions about your blood sugar response. We are consistently iterating to create the best possible candy for you. After hearing tribe feedback about varying blood sugar response, we began recipe testing new formulas to improve the experience for all. Our evolution will be launching early 2020! We are committed to relentlessly researching, testing, and choosing the most advanced, natural ingredients that allow us to continue to deliver creating delicious candy that you can feel good about.
ARE SMARTSWEETS KETO OR DIABETIC FRIENDLY?
