On the back of every bag of lollipops from This Charming Candy, we of course print our ingredient lists and disclose allergy information in accordance with guidelines from the FDA and the WSDA. Here’s the back of the Love Triangle lollipops packaging:

We spray our candy funnels and lollipop molds with nonstick spray to help facilitate syrup flow and finished lollipop release, respectively. Until recently, we had been unable to find a nonstick spray that didn’t contain Soy Lecithin, so there was a chance that our lollipops contained traces of soy. Hence the statement, “Contains: Soy” on our labels.
We are thrilled to say we have finally found a nonstick spray that contains no soy and we’ve begun to transition to that product. The Adventurer’s Pack and its flavors by the dozen are the first to be soy-free and to have the soy statement omitted from their packaging:
Of course, for the rest of our products we’ve got lots of labels already printed and they still have “Contains: Soy” printed on them. And we have a small stockpile of cans of the nonstick spray with soy. So we’ll use those up. Eventually those stashes will be depleted at which time we’ll update the rest of the allergy statements accordingly.
Celebration Time will be the only collection that will continue to contain soy, because the candy confetti pieces inside the Birthday Cake lollipops contain it. But the rest of the flavors will be soy-free. Yay!
What foods are you allergic to?
