"My daughter Sophia has many food allergies, and until now we have been unable to find a lollipop that we felt comfortable giving her, due to additives and unidentifiable artificial and natural colors and flavors. I'm happy to say she ate her first YummyEarth lollipop (Razzmatazz Berry) today after lunch and pronounced it the "best thing on earth". She, and I, thank you." Elizabeth

Ingredients
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 Yummy Earth 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!!!
"Wow! Thanks for making a treat that my kids can have and enjoy! We are a no gluten, no dairy, no soy family and really have to look hard to find good things that we can eat. Finding something that tastes good is an even bigger challenge. Thank you so much!" Kimberlee

Allergen Info:
1: There is no corn syrup in YummyEarth organic candy - we use organic tapioca syrup. YummyEarth's Citric Acid is made from sugar
beets, not from corn.
2: The equipment we use processes non-organic corn syrup candy when it is not making YummyEarth products. The equipment is
thoroughly washed before making YummyEarth organic candy. The cleaning process was designed to prevent cross contamination to
achieve USDA organic certification status and was approved for that purpose during YummyEarth's organic certification process by not-
for-profit Oregon Tilth.
3: There are no sulfites added to the tapioca syrup.
4: Questions about Safflower Oil or Citrus Oils?
Razzmatazz Berry - No Safflower, No Orange, No Lemon
Wet-Face Watermelon - Safflower Yes, No Orange, No Lemon
Cheeky Lemon - No Safflower, No Orange, Lemon Yes
Orange Squeeze - No Safflower, Orange Yes, No Lemon
Pomegranate Pucker - No Safflower, Orange Yes, Lemon Yes
5: Questions about colors: YummyEarth is colored naturally with vegetables and roots (NO FOOD DYE #4 or #5 or Blue Lake...).
Razzmatazz Berry - Purple Carrots and Red Cabbage
Wet-Face Watermelon - Purple Carrots and Red Cabbage
Cheeky Lemon - Turmeric
Orange Squeeze - Annatto
Pomegranate Pucker - Purple Carrots and Red Cabbage
Mango Tango - Annatto and Turmeric
6: Because so many moms have contacted YummyEarth inquiring about corn-free we looked into the “corn issue” with a food scientist
(Ron Schnitzer, noted owner of Sani-Pure Food Laboratories in Saddle Brook, NJ that provides over 100,000 different food tests). This
is what I learned: While YummyEarth organic lollipops and candies do not have corn syrup (we use organic tapioca syrup with no added
sulfites) or corn based citric acid (we use non-GMO beet sugar based citric acid), anyone with corn sensitivities should know IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE FOR A FOOD MANUFACTURER TO CLAIM THAT A FOOD IS CORN FREE (unless it is broccoli or something like that)
down to 1ppm (parts per million) because 1: corn seems to be virtually an omnipresent food product that can exist in immeasurable
amounts (50 or so parts per million) in foods whether you plan the food to be corn free or not. 2: it seems impossible with today’s
existing tests to prove that ANY “corn-free” food does not actually have some microscopic amount of corn because unlike tests for
peanuts which can go as low as 1ppm (parts per million) there appears to be no test for corn below around 50 ppm. It appears that the
FDA does not regulate the claim “corn free” while it does appear to give guidance to manufacturers to claim that there is no soy, for
example, even if soy is present below the current testable ppm (parts per million). By way of example, if the FDA acknowledges that
today’s testing for soy can only go down to 35ppm, then it appears that any manufacturer can claim “soy-free” even if soy exists in the
product at levels of 3ppm (which may not even be able to harm anyone). 3: Corn protein would not exist in YummyEarth organic
lollipops or candy drops because even if there is some corn present in some level of ppm it would be in an immeasurably low amount
of corn sugar, not corn protein. I am not trying to say that our product has corn, but since it appears there is no FDA approved way for
ANYONE, including YummyEarth, to say there is no corn in their food, including YummyEarth organic lollipops and candy drops, I will
simply say this: There is no corn syrup and there is no corn based citric acid in YummyEarth organic lollipops and candy drops. Please
consume using the same discretion you would use when consuming any other product you hope does not have corn, but might actually
have some immeasurably low level of corn, due to the apparent omnipresence of corn in our food supply.
7:Anaphylactic: No word scares me more as a parent or as a maker of food. While our plant may not use the ingredients that might
cause you or your child to go into anaphylactic shock, I would never feed ANYTHING to a child at risk of anaphylactic shock unless it
were my child or my family member, so only you can make that recommendation. We receive calls, letters, and email from parents of
children at risk of anaphylactic shock asking us if our plant uses peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, dairy (it doesn't), but I can only suggest
that you use your fine parental judgment in determining whether to purchase YummyEarth.
8: Feingold Stage Per Flavor:
Cheeky Lemon - Feingold Stage 1
Razzmatazz Berry - Feingold Stage 2
Orange Squeeze - Feingold Stage 2
Pomegranate Pucker - Feingold Stage 2
Wet-Face Watermelon - Feingold Stage 2
Mango Tango - Feingold Stage 2
9: Have a question about our Natural Flavors?
Please see below to understand how we approach the subject:
Natural Flavors as regulated for non-organic companies:
The definition of Natural as determined by the FDA is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations Section 21.CFR part 101.22(A)(3) as
follows:, “The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate,
distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit
juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy
products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional. Natural flavors include
the natural essence or extractives obtained from plants listed in §§ 182.10, 182.20, 182.40, and 182.50 and part 184 of this chapter, and
the substances listed in § 172.510 of this chapter.” FDA 21 CFR Part 101.22(a)(3)
Natural Flavors by YummyEarth
While the FDA allows the use of synthetic solvents for Natural Flavors and still allows them to be labeled as Natural, YummyEarth
flavors are Organic Compliant Natural Flavors and conform to the regulations of both the FDA and the USDA’s National Organic Plan
(NOP). All of YummyEarth’s Natural Flavor components are derived naturally from fruit and root extracts and the solvents used as
carriers are actually natural, such as glycerine derived from vegetables or safflower oil. YummyEarth natural flavors do not contain MSG
or other junk that we would not be proud to put in our family’s mouths.
Examples:
Natural Flavor for Cheeky Lemon – From the skins of lemons, either cold pressed or distilled, then folded (heated to drive off some of
the water) to make them more concentrated.
Natural Flavor for Roadside Root Beer – From Oil of Wintergreen in a solvent system of Safflower Oil
We will add more as question arise. Thank you.

Third Grade Teacher Saves the Day "I am a third grade teacher. There is a student in my class who is on a gluten-free and wheat-free diet. He has some challenges and disabilities. The other day, I took the time to visit your website and printed the nutritional information to send home to his parents. They are always trying to find neat things for their child to have for lunch. It has been very difficult to watch him not have the same foods as the other children. He realizes the difference and many times he would cry and act out, because he would like to have the food that they have. Thanks for making this INCREDIBLE product. He can now have something that all children love to eat, lollipops!!! I have since then purchased him a container of your Organic Lollipops from Smoothie King. Thanks for thinking about our children when creating your product!! You have my most sincere thanks and appreciation." Tangela Martin
