I'm going to try brushing the xylitol off the top. They've been stored in the fridge so that might not be easy, but worth a try.

I was hoping for something that would work after I ate one, but it doesn't seem like there is one.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

I'm suspecting (with no scientific evidence) that it was made with corn and that might be a problem for me.

After all, commercial corn in the USA has an insecticide gene spliced into the corn genome. What it does to the insects that eat the corn is to explode their digestive tract.

I'm usually of the opinion that what is meant to kill any animal can't be harmless to us.

I don't remember if the package was organic or non-GMO which I usually choose if available so I might be barking up the wrong (birch) tree.
