The Best Taste on Earth and top quality are and have always been our top goals. That said, from YummyEarth's beginning we were surprised to discover not only how many people are concerned about individual ingredients, but how many people have allergies and food sensitivities. We did not consider allergens or ingredients that people might be sensitive to when we formulated YummyEarth organic candy, but we have tried to change our ingredients to accommodate as many as we can as long as it does not compromise YummyEarth's wonderful taste, flavor and mouth feel! It's truly a difficult balancing act and we truly appreciate your feedback!!!
