Just Born’s Ross Born was honored with NCA’s Lifetime Achievement Award and Mars' Anton Vincent recognized with Distinguished Service Award at the 2023 State of the Industry Conference.

The 2023 State of Treating report released today at NCA’s annual State of the Industry Conference offers a deep understanding of ever-evolving consumer attitudes and behaviors.

The Candy Dish Awards are presented each year by NCA’s broker community to recognize one broker and one manufacturer who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in the fields of confectionery sales, marketing, and management.

Target’s Tiffany Trombley, director of seasonal candy and snacks; and Sam’s Club’s Todd Budzinski, senior director of merchandising, candy, & commercial bread, are the recipients of the 2023 Confectionery Leadership Awards.

93% of people say they would enjoy a gift of chocolate and candy to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

The program is dedicated to helping young professionals across the confectionery industry access networking and professional development opportunities to grow their careers.

The award honors a woman who has demonstrated superior leadership and industry mentorship and has a proven record of growth, success, and influence in the confectionery industry.

The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment guidelines cited in the Consumer Reports study are not food safety standards, says the National Confectioners Association (NCA).

Whether consumers are enjoying new and innovative offerings or classic candy corn, confectionery is an iconic part of the season’s celebrations.

Candy manufacturers have offered more products containing 200 calories or fewer and with front-of-pack calorie labels, as outlined in a new report from Partnership for a Healthier America and the NCA.
