Are USA Gummies safe for kids?+

Are USA Gummies allergen-free?+
USA Gummies are free from the top 9 allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame). However, they are produced in a facility that may process other products. Always check the bag for the most current allergen information.
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.
