Frequently Asked Questions
Are all these candies vegan?
Not all products listed are vegan—we've included a mix of vegan, organic, dye-free, and allergy-friendly options. Each product is labeled with its specific values badges (Vegan, Organic, Dye-Free, Top-9-Free, etc.). Always check the product label and ingredient list, as formulations can change.
What's the difference between gelatin and pectin?
Gelatin is an animal-derived ingredient made from collagen (typically from pig or cow bones). Pectin is a plant-based gelling agent derived from fruit (usually apples or citrus). Vegan gummies use pectin or agar (seaweed-based) instead of gelatin. Always check labels to confirm.
What do "organic" and "non-GMO" mean for candy?
Organic candy uses ingredients grown without synthetic pesticides, GMOs, or artificial additives, certified by USDA Organic or equivalent standards. Non-GMO means ingredients are not genetically modified organisms, verified through the Non-GMO Project or similar certification. Both certifications require third-party verification and regular testing.
How do I combine values filters on OriginSelect?
Visit our global products page and select multiple values filters simultaneously (e.g., Vegan + Organic + Dye-Free). You can also combine values with categories (like Snacks or Candy) and state filters to find exactly what you're looking for. The system shows only products matching all selected criteria.
Are these candies safe for classroom trick-or-treating?
We've included a dedicated School-Safe & Allergy-Friendly section featuring top-9-allergen-free options (no peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, or sesame). However, always check with your school's specific allergy policies and read current labels, as manufacturing facilities and formulations can change.
