Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust the top 9 allergen free claim, or is it just marketing?
You can trust it. The product is made without peanut, tree nut, milk, egg, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, and sesame, and it is produced in a facility that does not run those allergens, which is the standard allergy aware parents look for.
Does this candy contain any artificial dyes that have been linked to behavior issues in kids?
No. It is colored with real fruit and vegetable juices, so there are no artificial colors like Red 40, Yellow 5, or Blue 1 in the bag.
Is there any high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavor, or sugar alcohol I should worry about?
No. The formula is free from high fructose corn syrup, free from artificial flavors, and does not use sugar alcohols, which is why it is a popular swap for parents cleaning up their snack drawer.
Where is this licorice manufactured, and do you test for allergen cross contamination?
It is produced in a facility that is free from the top 9 common allergens, with ingredient sourcing and testing aligned to organic and Non-GMO certification standards, so cross contamination is controlled at the level allergy families need.
If my child has a severe milk or egg allergy, can they safely eat several pieces in one sitting?
Yes, the recipe is dairy free and egg free, and the facility does not process milk or egg, so a full bag is considered safe for children with those allergies, though you should always follow your own allergists guidance for your child.
Is this a safe candy to keep in a purse or car for my allergic child?
Yes. The resealable 5 ounce pouch is sized for exactly that, an on the go safe snack that does not melt into a sticky mess and that you can hand to your child at a rest stop, a party, or a friends house without re-checking the label.
How do I know the organic and Non-GMO claims are real and not just a label?
YumEarth Organic Strawberry Licorice is USDA Organic certified and Non-GMO Project Verified, both of which require third party audits of the ingredient supply chain, not just self declared claims on the package.
Is the packaging BPA free and food safe?
Yes, the pouch is a food grade packaging film chosen for direct snack contact and is used across the YumEarth line for kid focused products.
Compared to a mainstream bag of strawberry licorice, is this a meaningfully safer choice for an allergy household?
Yes. Conventional strawberry licorice is typically made with wheat flour, artificial dyes, and may share equipment with peanut or tree nut products. This version removes all of those variables in one swap, which is why allergy parents consider it a baseline safe candy rather than a specialty item.
Are there any recalled ingredients or recent allergen related complaints I should know about?
We are not aware of any active recall on this product, and YumEarth publishes up to date allergen and ingredient information on the product page and on the bag. If your child has a history of severe reactions, your allergist is the right final stop before introducing any new packaged food.
If I have a gluten sensitive child, is this truly gluten free or just made in a shared facility?
It is certified gluten free, which means it is tested to be under the FDA threshold of less than 20 parts per million of gluten, not just made on shared equipment. The recipe also contains no wheat, barley, or rye.
What is the biggest safety complaint customers have had with this product?
The most common concern in reviews is unrelated to allergens and is simply that kids want more than one bag at a time. From a food safety standpoint, the top 9 allergen free and organic certifications are what allergy parents cite as the reason it is now their default candy.
How should I store this licorice after I open the bag?
Keep the resealable pouch zipped closed and store it in a cool, dry place at room temperature. There is no need to refrigerate it, and the zip seal is designed to keep the soft chews fresh and chewy for weeks after opening.
Can I freeze the licorice for longer storage?
Yes. You can portion the chews into a freezer safe bag and freeze them for a few months. Let them come back to room temperature before eating so the texture returns to its soft, juicy chew.
How long does one 5 ounce bag last once opened?
Most families finish a 5 ounce bag within one to two weeks of opening, and the chews hold their texture throughout that window as long as the pouch is resealed. For single serve use, you can portion pieces into small silicone bags or a lunchbox container.
Is this product compatible with a keto or low carb diet?
It is not compatible with a strict keto or low carb diet because it is sweetened with cane sugar. It is a better fit for vegan, gluten free, organic, and clean label lifestyles than for macro tracking diets.
Is it compatible with a kosher or halal household?
The recipe is vegan and free from animal derived ingredients, and YumEarth organic candies are widely accepted in vegan, kosher, and halal households. If you require a specific kosher or halal certification symbol on the package, check the current bag or the product page for the latest certification marks.
What is actually inside the pouch when my order arrives?
You will get one 5 ounce resealable bag of YumEarth Organic Strawberry Licorice, a free Swedish fish sample added by the brand, and a cute handwritten note. No extra tools or accessories are needed, and the bag is ready to pack in a lunchbox the moment it arrives.
Is this candy safe for diabetics or people avoiding sugar?
It is made with cane sugar and is not formulated as a sugar free or diabetic friendly candy. If you are managing blood sugar, treat it like any other sweet and check with your doctor or dietitian about portion size.
Does the bag contain any major common allergens beyond the top 9, like coconut or corn?
The recipe is free from the top 9 FDA recognized allergens, but it is not certified corn free or coconut free. If you have a sensitivity to those, please read the full ingredient list on the bag or the product page before eating.
What is the difference between this organic strawberry licorice and regular Twizzlers or Red Vines?
Twizzlers and Red Vines are typically made with wheat flour, corn syrup, and artificial dyes like Red 40. YumEarth Organic Strawberry Licorice is made without wheat, without high fructose corn syrup, and without artificial dyes, so it is the strawberry licorice experience with a much shorter, recognizable ingredient list and a top 9 allergen free recipe.
