“Where most candy is sweetened with corn syrup, Surf Sweets is not,” Cohen adds.  “They’re naturally sweet because they’re made with real organic fruit juice instead of corn syrup, and provide 100% of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of antioxidant Vitamin C.”

Additionally, Surf Sweets candies are gluten free, casein free, and allergy friendly, meaning that they contain none of the most common food allergens (wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish, shellfish).

All Surf Sweets candy is produced and packaged in a dedicated nut-free facility.  And
Surf Sweets has many delicious options for vegans and vegetarians as four of its candies are vegan (Fruity Bears, Gummy Swirls, Sour Berry Bears, Sour Worms) and five are vegetarian (Fruity Bears, Gummy Swirls, Jelly Beans, Sour Berry Bears, Sour Worms).

Each Surf Sweets 2.75-oz bag of candies contains only 120-140 calories per serving depending on the variety.
