Tasty Brand

                                          Organic Snacks for kids 2-102
                                                    www.tastybrand.com
Tasty Bite has quickly risen to the top to become the clear winner all gummies in our house.  Even my older brother (who doesn't usually like candy...at..all...)really liked these!  After approx. 2 weeks (I think), all the boxes are gone!  I'd say that is pretty strong evidence that something has proved quite tasty.

Made with all natural fruit juice (along with a few other ingredients), Tasty Brand manages to create a delicious gummy without any GMOs, artifical colors and flavors, or the big one...High Fructose Corn Syrup. 

Please note that they do contain organic cane sugar (so be careful if you or your child is diabetic). But besides the sugar, these snacks are a great treat to have on hand for busy school days, long car rides, or for an everyday snack. 

One the great things about these gummies is the fact that they are gluten-free.  During this no-gluten for a month challenge, S especially was concerned about leaving behind all his favorite foods, but thanks to the help of Tasty Brand Gummies, he has adjusted very well and seems to (perhaps?) even be enjoying this break from gluten.
                                             Ingredients:
                                                           
 Organic Tapioca Syrup, Organic Cane
Sugar, Organic Tapioca Syrup Solids,
Organic White Grape Juice Concentrate,
Pectin, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Color
Added (Organic Black Carrot Juice
Concentrate, Organic Turmeric, Organic
Annatto), Natural Flavors, Sodium Citrate,
Organic Sunflower Oil, Carnauba Wax.
 
BelI have below a bit from their website on why many choose to avoid the food additives that are not in Tasty Brand's Gummies.  I love how they keep this helpful information kid friendly and simple.  Check out their website for the images that go alond with the information.  Also, you can find even more information about the Good Guys, other products and flavors, and more through their site: www.tastybrand.com.
 
"Bad Guys
When GMOs & Pesticides pollute our crops, bee hives collapse and nothing can
thrive ... And when spooky scientists in lab coats add Artificial Colors, High Fructose Corn Syrup & Trans Fats, our food becomes dangerous and we feel tired, obese and sick
...
GMO
#1 on our Most Wanted list is GMO, AKA “Dr. FrankenFood.” In a
lab experiment gone terribly wrong, this evil doctor found devious
ways to genetically modify organisms by changing plants & animals
through gene-splicing. Merging DNA from different species has led
to unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial & viral genes
that cannot occur in nature ... and now it’s just a matter of time until
this bad guy takes over our food chain forever.
High-Fructose Corn Syrup
Using the moniker HFCS, this gooey guy is out to fatten us up & slow us down.
Lurking in almost every highly-processed food & beverage, including breads,
cereals, breakfast bars, lunch meats, yogurts, soups, condiments, sodas, candy
& more, HFCS is classified as safe by the FDA, but studies have linked him to obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes & liver disease.
Artificial Colors
Bad boy Artie Ficial just likes to have fun. His motto is, “why ruin a good party?”
and he doesn’t care who gets hurt by his wild coloring ways. While vibrant
foods may look cool, the chemicals Artie uses have been linked to everything
from ADD and ADHD to cancer. Killing motor neurons and causing tumors,
hives, migraines, rashes, asthma, allergic reactions is not our idea of a party."-tastybrand.com

Indie Candy
naturally gourmet sweets

"Indie Candy specializes in gourmet candies that are naturally allergen free. We create our own confections in-house. Since I have a serious gluten intolerance and a less serious, but no less annoying, intolerance to milk and soy plus a child with multiple food allergies/sensitivities, I am my own customer. That means that I strive to create the most delicious products available because I am the one eating them!

ALL of the products that Indie Candy makes in house are always Big 8 allergen free - no wheat/gluten, dairy/casein, soy (even the chocolate is soy free!), egg, peanuts, tree nuts, fish or shellfish in our very own DEDICATED facility. And for our Canadian customers, we are big 9 free which means no sesame. 

Our flavors are single source, from the named fruit flavors. So if it says "watermelon" that means that no other fruits are in the candy - just watermelon. We package our items in individual flavors so that our fruit allergic customers can pick what is OK for them.

We are used to dealing with all kinds of questions about our products, so please contact us! If you have an unusual allergy or intolerance and have additional questions, please do not hesitate to call, email or Facebook us.

All of our products are free of artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. A 2007 study in the Lancet showed that certain food dyes can create a hyperactive response in otherwise normal children. That study and others prompted the EU and most other industrialized nations to require food companies to eliminate certain food dyes from the food supply. We take it one step further and make delicious and beautiful candy only with fruit, vegetable and spice extracts instead of artificial colors and flavors. We use the Feingold Diet program as a guideline for our products which means that the candies are also free of TBHQ, BHT and BHA as well as no artificial colors and flavors.

Our commitment is to provide the best tasting and most thoughtfully produced candies available, regardless of dietary restriction. We carry candies that are suitable for a variety of special diets - GFCFSF, vegan and Feingold friendly - to name a few. The ingredients in our house made products are all Kosher certified. Also, the majority of our ingredients are organic.

Please email us at indiecandy@gmail.com if you have any questions or suggestions.
