Unauthorized Kosher Symbol on Ferrara Candy Co. Products

Ferrara Candy Company products made in Mexico, except for Atomic Fireballs and Jawbreakers, are not certified by UMK. Some products bear an unauthorized UMK symbol and are produced in a non-Kosher facility. They include:

• LEMONHEAD LEMON CANDY (40.5 oz. containers, 150 Pieces, at Kroger and other stores)
• CHEWY LEMONHEAD FRUIT MIX CANDIES (in a 5-Pack package)

The only Ferrara candies that remain under UMK certification are Atomic Fireballs and Jawbreakers, and only when they bear the UMK symbol on each individual box. UMK.png

Boxes of CHEWY LEMONHEAD candies that bear a UMK symbol on the individual box and also state “Product of U.S.A.” on the box, and do not state “Product of Mexico” in the ink jet code on the side of the box, are old product that was produced years ago under UMK certification and are Kosher.
