Crystal Boba vs Tapioca Pearl: Full Nutritional Comparison per 100g

When developing a menu, the purchaser's primary concerns are calorie and macronutrient data. The following comparison table can help you accurately identify the values for each ingredient on the nutrition label, facilitating its direct use for menu labeling and consumer inquiries.

First, let's present the core data. Crystal Boba and cassava pearls differ significantly in their nutritional profiles—Crystal Boba follows a low-calorie, refreshing approach, whereas the latter offers a traditional, high-carbohydrate taste profile. The following data is based on 100 g of finished product (cooked/ready-to-eat):

Data sources: Crystal Boba data is based on publicly available product nutrition labels from OpenFoodFacts (Fanale Crystal Boba, UPC 0810069292267); cassava pearl data are compiled from USDA FoodData Central and industry-standard nutrition databases.

The data clearly shows that Crystal Boba contains fewer than half the calories of cassava pearls, with carbohydrate content also being nearly half as low. For a menu positioning focused on "lighter options" and "low-calorie" appeal, Crystal Boba's advantages are particularly evident. In contrast, cassava pearls offer distinct strengths in chewiness and traditional texture; while their calorie count is higher, they enjoy greater consumer acceptance.

If your menu requires offering two different flavor profiles simultaneously, we recommend using Crystal Boba to cover the "Low-Calorie & Refreshing" category and using cassava pearls for the "Classic Chewiness" category—these two categories do not conflict with each other and can actually help expand your SKU range. You can visit our Crystal Boba product page directly, where all available flavors are listed, making it easy for you to complete your product selection at once.

Allergen Declaration: What You Need to Know for Menu Compliance

In 2026, regulatory requirements for allergen labeling across various countries will become increasingly stringent; there must be no ambiguity regarding menu compliance. Crystal Boba's ingredient list is exceptionally clean—consisting of konjac powder, agar, water, and a small amount of natural flavoring—and its entire production process does not involve any common allergens, making it one of the toppings with the lowest allergen risk on the current ingredient label. The complete allergen profile below can be provided directly to your compliance team for reference.

The specific statement is as follows:

• FDA's Top 9 Allergens: No milk, eggs, fish, crustaceans, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, or sesame – All ingredients are free from these allergens.
• EU Category 14 allergens: gluten-free grains, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk, nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulfur dioxide/sulfites (>10 mg/kg), asparagus beans – all are excluded.
• Gluten-Free: Naturally gluten-free (the ingredients contain no wheat, barley, or rye components).
• Vegan/Plant-Based: 100% plant-based; contains no animal-derived ingredients.

What does this mean? You can directly label it on your menu:

This statement is compliant under the FDA framework and also meets the requirements of EU Regulation 1169/2011. Of course, before finalizing the labeling, we recommend that your compliance team review the full ingredient list again—we can provide a complete specification sheet (Specification Sheet); please contact our business team to obtain it.

If you have any questions regarding specific flavor ingredient details—such as whether the Cherry-flavored or Coconut-flavored Crystal Boba contains any natural flavors that may contain allergens—we invite you to contact us at any time for clarification; we provide a separate allergen statement for each product that can be sent to you.

Low-Sugar & Standard Version Crystal Boba: Specifications for Calorie-Conscious Menus

An increasing number of chain brands are inquiring whether we offer low-sugar versions of Crystal Boba; indeed, consumers' demand for sugar-controlled options is growing stronger than ever. We have developed two variants—low-sugar and regular—to accommodate different menu positioning and meet the health concerns of various end consumers; the specific specifications are as follows:

Both products can be customized for OEM: packaging, flavor concentration, and sweetness profiles can all be tailored according to your menu requirements. Our Huizhou factory has a monthly production capacity of 200 tons, holds dual certifications for HACCP and ISO 22000, and guarantees both delivery timelines and product quality stability.

If you are planning a low-sugar version of your new menu, you can use our Original Crystal Boba as a standard reference point, then compare it with Mango Crystal Boba or Peach Crystal Boba to conduct taste tests for the low-sugar versions—the combination of fruit flavors with the low-sugar formulation performs exceptionally well, with high consumer acceptance.

Menu Labeling Regulations: US FDA, EU, and Southeast Asia Requirements

Menu labeling regulations represent one of the most stringent regulatory trends for the global F&B industry in 2026, with significant variations in requirements across different markets. When Crystal Boba is used as an ingredient in beverages, what information must be declared on the menu, and how should it be labeled to ensure compliance? We will break down the requirements for three major export markets—the United States, the European Union, and Southeast Asia—to help you get your compliance work done proactively.

If you are operating in multiple markets simultaneously, the workload associated with compliance labeling can be quite substantial. Our approach is as follows: for each product, we prepare a complete Specification Sheet that covers all labeling requirements for the target markets—once you receive it, you can directly provide it to the compliance team. If needed, please contact our business team, and we will tailor our labeling recommendations based on your specific target markets.

To learn about the specific specifications of different flavor products, you may refer to the Brown Sugar Crystal Boba (nutritional parameters for the brown sugar flavor) or the Strawberry Crystal Boba (ingredient details for the fruit flavor); each product has its own separate compliance document that can be directly provided to your compliance team.
