I purchased these to have during a course I was teaching. What a hit they were! Everybody wanted some, and by the end of the day, they were gone.

So, I know what I’ll do next time I teach a course. PowerPoint presentation – check, laser pointer – check, organic lollipops – check.

This crap is made in Mexico.

Never ever EVER buy candy unless it's made in the U.S.A., whether it claims to be organic or not. Lead is also "organic" and is found to be in most candy made outside of the United States, plus even friends of mine from Mexico laugh and say they would never believe anything from Mexico is actually "organic".

If you haven't noticed already, most "deal of the day" and "lightning deal" items are total crap.

There is certainly nothing wrong with these and they are a fine product; however, people should really be aware that the term “Natural Flavor” does not mean the flavoring is natural. The flavoring is derived from natural sources via chemical means.

Don’t let it stop you from buying if you want some more natural source of sugar that has less refinement associated with it.

They may be wonderful as some people say but why are they listed under sugar free? THAT IS MISLEADING. IT IS MADE WITH SUGAR. DIABETICS BEWARE.

I contacted this company and they would not tell me if their products contain Balsam of Peru. I am severely allergic to Balsam of Peru.

What a shame, sounded like a great product.
Would you want to give something to your kids not knowing the ingredients?

Sure, they list the ingredients, or so you think. If you call and ask them what is in the flavoring.... you won't get an answer.

There are hidden ingredients in flavorings that companies do not have to divulge.

I had horrible skin rahes over 7 years until I finally found out that I have an allergy to Balsam of Peru. Its a hidden ingredient in many, many foods, just listed as "flavoring" or natural flavoring, as it is natural, from a tree in south America. Rating: 1 / 5
