On Monday, February 17, Boys and Girls Club members from Chicago came to the Sheraton Grand hotel to be "Junior Candy Buyers," deciding which confections would earn top honors.
We recently chatted with Steve Van Tassel, CEO, YumEarth, about the company's mission to create non-GMO candy products, as well as the biggest goals for the brand moving forward.
Both treats are crafted to be free from the top 9 allergens, are made with certified organic, non-GMO, vegan ingredients, and are completely free of artificial dyes.
Some of the unique products we saw at ECRM this year range from all-natural candy canes, to Monster Jelly gummies, to Ketchup and Pickle Lovers' gift packs.
We caught up with YumEarth about how the company got its start, why it chooses to make natural and organic products that are also free of the top nine allergens, and what's next for the brand.
