The YumEarth Sour Littles candies are the brand's latest offering being launched with the Halloween season in mind to provide consumers with the perfect free-from treat option to hand out.
The candies feature a chewy, sour profile that has each bite shaped like a little figure to give them a friendly appearance for kids and adults alike to enjoy. The candies are characterized by their free-from recipe that's free from the top nine allergens, while also being non-GMO and made with simple, organic ingredients. The treats are being launched exclusively at Target and via the brand's website.
VP of Marketing & Strategy Sasha Auguste spoke on the new YumEarth Sour Littles candies saying, "Our goal has always been to create allergy-friendly candy perfect for every occasion without comprising taste—especially for Halloween. We wanted to craft a candy that makes parents feel at ease when filling their treat bowls, knowing the goodies they’re handing out—and the ones their kids are bringing home—are better-for-you and safe for all.”
