With all the
sugar free products available in the market, why should we buy
Golightly?
People choose to limit their sugar and carb intake for many reasons,
including weight loss, disease prevention and interest in maintaining a
healthy lifestyle. Almost all of Golightly’s sugar free candy
contains 0 net grams of carbs, making it a good choice for a tasty -
and smart - treat.
What are sugar alcohols?
Sugar alcohols are a misnomer! Sugar alcohols (substitute sweeteners/
bulking agents) contain neither sugar nor alcohol. Sugar alcohols are
part of the POLYOL category, and include sorbitol, mannitol, maltitol,
isomalt, HSH/ Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate and others. (Golightly
uses HSH, which is produced by partial hydrolysis of corn.) Polyols are
found in many sugar free foods and are slowly and not completely
absorbed into the blood. Sugar alcohols contain fewer carbs and provide
lower calories than regular sugar. HSH is derived from corn and can be
safely used and enjoyed by diabetics and by those who need gluten-free
foods. It can also be used by those on a low carb or low GI (Glycemic
Index) diet.
What food allergens are in
Golightly?
Golightly’s allergen statement for its chews as follows:
Manufactured on equipment that processes dairy, peanuts, walnuts,
almond, pecan, nutmeg, soy protein, wheat and shrimp (glucosamine)

in a plant that processes the items listed above. However, the candy
does NOT come into direct contact with allergens.

What is the shelf life of
Golightly peg bags? How do you read the date code on the back of the
bag?
Golightly is good for 2 years. The 4 digit code on the back of the bag,
called the Julian Date Code, is as follows: For example: 6030 means
that the candy was manufactured in the year of 2006 (6) on the 30th day
of the year (030). First number represents the year, the next three
numbers represent the day of the year the candy was manufactured. The
candy is good from 2 years from this date.
With all the sugar free products
available in the market, why should we buy Golightly?
Golightly is one of the oldest sugar free candy companies in America
and we have years of experience in this segment of the market. Sugar
free has always been, and will always be, our main business. An
important difference between Golightly and the competition is Golightly
just tastes better! Why? Golightly sweetens with Splenda ® the
revolutionary no-calorie sweetener. There are other sweeteners like
Aspartame, Saccharin, Acesulfame-K and Stevia, but Splenda is the
safest, with no known side effects. It has no aftertaste, is neither
toxic nor carcinogenic, and has no effect on carbohydrate metabolism.
It is safe for diabetics. For detailed information on Splenda, please
