Easter Candy

Hi,

Unfortunately, I don't trust any makers for Easter candy. I ordered all my candy from Vermont, they have great novelty items and the chocolate was yummy. It wasn't really all that much more expensive for the peace of mind.

Pez candies are suppose to be safe and come in a bunny, chick, and lamb dispensers for Easter (Pez #800-430-0475, [url="http://www.pez.com)."]www.pez.com).[/url]

The company that makes marshmellow peeps (Just Born #610-867-7568, [url="http://www.justborn.com)"]www.justborn.com)[/url] also makes jelly beans, zours, mike & ikes, and hot tamales -- all are produced in a pnt/nut free facility.

Also, just called Trolli Candy (#515-782-5380, [url="http://www.trolli.com)"]www.trolli.com)[/url] this week and the Q.C. manager assured me that all their candy and the facility its produced in is pnt/nut free. They make gummy worms, bears, beans, etc....
She did say some of their candy is sent to their sister company - Sathers for packaging and that candy is not safe because it is packaged in a facility with pnt/nuts. So if the package says Sathers on it, than they are not safe (it will be labeled as such). Only the Trolli packaged candy is safe.

This is not candy related, but another place I called this week is Stonyfield Yogurt (603-437-5050, [url="http://www.stonyfield.com)."]www.stonyfield.com).[/url] All their refrigerated yogurts and the facility its produced in is pnt/nut free. (As an extra bonus, the yogurt is also free of pesticides, antibiotics and bovine growth hormone!) However, their frozen yogurt and icecream is produced elsewhere and are NOT safe.

As always, information like this should be confirmed with your own phone calls.
