How We’ve Made Candy Safer For You And Your Family
Here at the Original
Gourmet Food Company our goal is to share smiles across the world, which is why
we always make our customer’s health and safety our top priority. In this post
we’re going to be breaking down which ingredients we don’t use and why we believe you should be avoiding these
ingredients too!
Peanut Free:
Making our products
peanut free was a no brainer for us. About 3 Million people in the US alone
report having allergies to peanuts, a number which has tripled since 1997. We do not want anyone to be deprived of experiencing
our delicious lollipops or risk triggering an allergic reaction, which is why
we make our lollipops peanut and risk free!
Gluten Free:
Even if you are not gluten intolerant or have celiac disease, eating gluten can lead to headaches, bloating and fatigue after it’s been consumed. Some Doctors even believe that up to 30%- 50% of the population potentially has a gluten intolerance!

We want eating our lollipops to be a positive
experience that everyone can enjoy, which is why we do not include gluten in
our tasty products!
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Free:
High Fructose Corn Syrup is an ingredient that is commonly used in many sodas and candies because it is a cheap sweetener and easy to manufacture.

Unfortunately, HFCS
contains unregulated measures of mercury, can cause obesity and diabetes, and contributes
to lipogenesis, the most common disease in America
today, which leads to fatty liver.
Cutting out HFCS is not just good for our consumers but for the planet, which
is why not including it in our lollipops was an easy decision for us!
rBGH Free Cream:
rBGH is a genetically
engineered hormone which is injected into cows to make them produce more milk. rBGH has been declared unsafe by medical
experts and has been banned in the European Union, Australia and many other
countries.
It has also high
levels of IGF-1 which
has been linked to various types of cancers, which not only affect humans, but
also the cows it is used on. We believe
that avoiding rBGH keeps our products safer and our costumers happier!
