What is the definition of candy?
“Candy” is a preparation of sugar, honey, or other natural or artificial sweeteners combined with chocolate, fruits, nuts, or other ingredients or flavorings in the form of bars, drops, or pieces. Candy does not require refrigeration, and does not include flour as an ingredient. • “Natural or artificial sweeteners” include, but are not limited to, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, invert sugar, sucrose, fructose, sucralose, saccharin, aspartame, stevia, fruit juice concentrates, molasses, evaporated cane juice, and rice syrup. • “Flour” includes any flour made from a grain, such as wheat flour, rice flour, and corn flour. • Items that require “refrigeration,” either before or after opening, are not candy. For example, popsicles, ice cream bars, and fruits in sweetened syrups are not candy.
