Lakrisal

Unlike most salty liquorice candies, Lakrisal does not contain any starch or gum arabic (E414).

Because of this, Lakrisal drops are powdery, and have been pressed to stay in one piece like tablets.

Persons suffering from hypertension should avoid excessive intake of Lakrisal.

[citation needed] Lakrisal is also unlike most salty liquorice candies by not being black.

Liquorice or salmiak throat tablets have been produced and sold in the Nordic countries since the 1950s.
