★ Kid-Safe Gummy FAQs ★
Quick answers
for parents.
Are USA Gummies safe for kids?+
USA Gummies are made with no artificial dyes, no Red 40, and all natural flavors. They are a standard candy product made with sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin. As with any candy, they should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Do USA Gummies contain any of the top 9 allergens?+
No milk, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nut, peanut, wheat, soy or sesame is used as an ingredient in USA Gummies — our manufacturer's product specification confirms none of the nine is in the product or run on the same production line. The candy is made in a facility that also handles milk, egg, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy and sesame on other lines, and it is packed into bags at a second facility, so we cannot rule out trace cross-contact. The bears contain pork gelatin and highly refined coconut oil, both listed in the ingredients. The bag carries a full ingredient list but no separate allergen panel. If your child has a food allergy, email ben@usagummies.com before you order and we will tell you exactly what we know and what we don't.
What age are these gummy bears appropriate for?+
Gummy bears are generally appropriate for children old enough to thoroughly chew gummy candy. For very young children, parents should supervise to ensure proper chewing. Consult your pediatrician if you have specific concerns.
Are USA Gummies sugar-free?+
No. USA Gummies are made with sugar and corn syrup, like traditional gummy bears. They are not sugar-free or low-sugar. The difference is in what we leave out — artificial dyes and synthetic colors.
Do USA Gummies contain gelatin?+
Yes. USA Gummies contain gelatin, which gives them their classic gummy bear chew. They are not vegan or vegetarian.
Where can I buy dye-free gummy bears for kids?+
You can order USA Gummies directly from our website with free shipping on 5 bags or more. We also sell on Amazon. Visit our shop page for current pricing and bundle deals.
