Title: Jelly Belly Brand Candy Corn
Post by: Mfamom on September 01, 2012, 08:33:40 PM
does anyone know about jelly belly labeling/practices?  I usually don't bother much with jelly belly because I thought there is usually a warning and my ds doesn't prefer that type of candy.  I know they have a pb one too,
I was at the store though and saw candy corn made by them.  I've never gotten safe candy corn before and my ds has never had it. the label didnt have a warning....

A few years ago they went peanut free but have been really sketchy on the tree nut side of things.  I think other posts and questions to them pointed to the fact that they polish most of their candy in a shared polisher with tree nuts.  But that it should be an issue  :disappointed:

thanks, YKW...one more reason for my ds to bite the bullet and to tree nut challenge.  It doesn't appear that he is allergic to them, negative rast and spts
previously had positive spts, but i think it was cross reactions to pollen

We were all excited to find that lately, candy corn labeled peanut free.  Jelly Belly doesn't have a peanut jelly bean anymore. But some of their things must be handled by someone else, because a few of their products don't have the PF label.
