note: Built from the Open Food Facts label photos of 2019, 2021, 2025 and 2026, Procter & Gamble's Real Sugar Orange Smooth page, two Amazon.com listings and the HerbsDaily record that print the barcode, and Wikipedia. Settles the family page's open question: the pack is the real sugar version, not sugar-free.

## About <!--about-->
Metamucil 4-in-1 Fiber Real Sugar Orange is a 861 g (30.4 oz) canister of orange-flavoured psyllium husk powder sold in the United States as a fiber supplement, holding about 72 one-tablespoon servings.[^pack] It is distributed by Procter & Gamble of Cincinnati, Ohio,[^pack] which bought the Metamucil brand from G. D. Searle & Company in 1985; Searle had introduced it in 1934.[^wiki] Unlike the sugar-free canisters of the same line, it is sweetened with sucrose, which leads the ingredient list ahead of psyllium husk; the Supplement Facts panel gives 80 calories, 6 g of dietary fiber (5 g soluble) and 16 g of added sugars per two rounded tablespoons.[^pack] The label directs adults and children of 12 and over to mix it with 8 oz or more of cool liquid.[^pack] Amazon.com lists it under this barcode.[^amazon]
A photograph from 2019 shows the canister in its earlier "4 in 1 MultiHealth Fiber!" design, sold as Orange Smooth.[^pack2019] Photographs from 2021 show the current 4-in-1 Fiber design with 10 mg of sodium per two tablespoons, where later canisters print 20 mg.[^pack2021][^pack] The shop HerbsDaily calls this barcode sugar free in its title, but its own ingredient text starts with sucrose.[^herbsdaily] An older Amazon.com listing still names the earlier design.[^amazon-old] Procter & Gamble's page for the real sugar orange powder offers the 72 tablespoon canister.[^maker]
