[brer cat]

Many of us prefer something healthier than candy for our trick or treaters, but if we are going the candy route, let's make sure to buy American union made.

9. Halloween Candy Corn (formerly Herman Goelitz Company now Jelly Belly Candy Company) is unionized..

in the United States. I question if their Thailand facility is.

Jelly Belly Candy Co. opened a factory in Thailand in 2007.

Sugar makes up about half of the ingredients and cost of a typical jelly bean, said Bob Simpson, Jelly Belly’s president and chief operating officer. Thailand is the world’s fourth-largest sugar producer and gives Jelly Belly access to cheaper sugar, labor and other raw materials than the candy maker has in the U.S.
