We do have a few items that do not meet this criteria, this will be reported as an allergen on the product's web page ingredient list.

Boston America pressed dextrose candy in tins are vegetarian friendly. Our gummy candy contains gelatin from animal sources, and is not vegetarian. We do not carry Kosher items at this time.

How can I tell the expiration date on a product?

As an example, a candy that has a code of 18070 would indicate that this was made on the 70th day of the year (March 11th) in 2018. The Duff energy drinks have a similar code printed on the bottom of the can (YYDDD) and they have an 18-month shelf life.

All of the other Boston America drinks have a different code on the bottom of the can. An example: C1824BA-R: “C” stands for March (3rd letter of the alphabet and 3rd month), “18” stands for 2018, “24” stands for the 24th day of the month, “BA” is Boston America and “R” is the color of the drink (R - cherry,  B - blue raspberry, or P - bubblegum). In this example, the drink flavor is cherry flavored, and it was produced on March 24, 2018.
