Notes from the Manufacturer,
YummyEarth LLC |
- There is no corn syrup in our organic candy - we use organic
tapioca syrup. Our Citric Acid is made from sugar beets, not from
corn.
- There are no sulfites added to the tapioca syrup.
- Questions about Safflower Oil or Citrus Oils?
Razzmatazz Berry - No Safflower, No Orange, No Lemon
Wet-Face Watermelon - Safflower Yes, No Orange, No Lemon
Cheeky Lemon - No Safflower, No Orange, Lemon Yes
Orange Squeeze - No Safflower, Orange Yes, No Lemon
Pomegranate Pucker - No Safflower, Orange Yes, Lemon Yes
- Questions about colors: our products are colored naturally
with vegetables and roots (NO FOOD DYE #4 or #5 or Blue Lake...).
Razzmatazz Berry - Purple Carrots and Red Cabbage
Wet-Face Watermelon - Purple Carrots and Red Cabbage
Cheeky Lemon - Turmeric
Orange Squeeze - Annatto
Pomegranate Pucker - Purple Carrots and Red Cabbage
Mango Tango - Annatto and Turmeric
- While our organic lollipops and candies do not have corn syrup (we
use organic tapioca syrup with no added sulfites) or corn based
citric acid (we use non-GMO beet sugar based citric acid), anyone
with corn sensitivities should know IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A FOOD
MANUFACTURER TO CLAIM THAT A FOOD IS CORN FREE (unless it is
broccoli or something like that) down to 1ppm (parts per million)
because 1: corn seems to be virtually an omnipresent food product
that can exist in immeasurable
amounts (50 or so parts per million) in foods whether you plan the
food to be corn free or not. 2: it seems impossible with today’s
existing tests to prove that ANY "corn-free" food does not
actually have some microscopic amount of corn because unlike tests
for peanuts which can go as low as 1ppm (parts per million) there
appears to be no test for corn below around 50 ppm. It appears that
the FDA does not regulate the claim "corn free" while it
does appear to give guidance to manufacturers to claim that there is
no soy, for example, even if soy is present below the current
testable ppm (parts per million). By way of example, if the FDA
acknowledges that today’s testing for soy can only go down to
35ppm, then it appears that any manufacturer can claim
"soy-free" even if soy exists in the product at levels of
3ppm (which may not even be able to harm anyone). 3: Corn protein
would not exist in our organic lollipops or candy drops because even
if there is some corn present in some level of ppm it would be in an
immeasurably low amount of corn sugar, not corn protein. I am not
trying to say that our product has corn, but since it appears there
is no FDA approved way for ANYONE, including our company, to say
there is no corn in their food, including our organic lollipops and
candy drops, I will simply say this: There is no corn syrup and
there is no corn based citric acid in our organic lollipops and
candy drops. Please consume using the same discretion you would use
when consuming any other product you hope does not have corn, but
might actually have some immeasurably low level of corn, due to the
apparent omnipresence of corn in our food supply.
- Anaphylactic: No word scares me more as a parent or as a maker of
food. While our plant may not use the ingredients that might cause
you or your child to go into anaphylactic shock, I would never feed
ANYTHING to a child at risk of anaphylactic shock unless it were my
child or my family member, so only you can make that recommendation.
We receive calls, letters, and email from parents of children at
risk of anaphylactic shock asking us if our plant uses peanuts, tree
nuts, sesame, dairy (it doesn't), but I can only suggest that you
use your fine parental judgment in determining whether to purchase
our candy.
