Indie Candy
naturally gourmet sweets
Indie Candy specializes in gourmet candies that are naturally allergen free. We create our own confections in-house as well as carrying the best of the allergen free candies currently on the market, particularly those from independent makers.
Since I have a serious gluten intolerance and a less serious, but no less annoying, intolerance to milk and soy plus a child with multiple food allergies/sensitivities, I am my own customer. That means that I strive to create the most delicious products available because I am the one eating them!
All of our products are free of artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. A 2007 study in the Lancet showed that certain food dyes can create a hyperactive response in otherwise normal children. That study and others prompted the EU and most other industrialized nations to require food companies to eliminate certain food dyes from the food supply. We take it one step further and make delicious and beautiful candy only with fruit, vegetable and spice extracts instead of artificial colors and flavors. We use the Feingold Diet program as a guideline for our products which means that the candies are also free of TBHQ, BHT and BHA as well as no artificial colors and flavors.
Our commitment is to provide the best tasting and most thoughtfully produced candies available, regardless of dietary restriction. Our in house artisan candies are free of Big 8 allergens: eggs, peanuts, treenuts, wheat, soy, dairy, fish and shellfish. There are no Big 8 allergens in the kitchen at all.
We carry candies that are suitable for a variety of special diets - GFCFSF, vegan and Feingold friendly - to name a few. The ingredients in our house made products are all Kosher certified. Also, the majority of our ingredients are organic.
