Soft candy (05.2.2)

Description:
Products include soft, chewy products such as caramels (containing sugar syrup, fats, colour and flavour) and their dietetic counterparts; products that may or may not contain cocoa and milk (e.g. toffees and chocolate-flavoured caramels); jelly-based candies (e.g. jelly beans, jellied fruit paste covered in sugar, made from gelatin, pectin, colour and flavour); and licorice.1 Also included are halwa teheniaa and oriental specialties, such as sweet bean jelly (yokan) and agar jelly for mitsumame. These types of products may be used as fillings for chocolate products within the scope of food categories 05.1.4 and 05.1.5.

This page provides information on the food additive provisions that are acceptable for use in foods conforming to the food category.
