Gordon 1919 - 2015 On January 20, 2015, Melvin J. Gordon, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Tootsie Roll Industries, passed away at the age of 95 after a brief illness. Mr. Gordon joined the board of what was then Sweets Company of America in 1952 and was elevated to the roles of Chairman and CEO in 1962. Sales at that time were $25 million, profits were $1 million and our product line primarily consisted of Tootsie Rolls and Tootsie Pops. Mr. Gordon, a man of great vision and drive, reshaped the Company over his long tenure. Early on, he changed the Company’s name to Tootsie Roll Industries in recognition of the flagship brand and relocated the Company to a large, centrally located facility in Chicago which remains the Company’s headquarters and its largest plant. He expanded operations into Mexico and led the Company through a series of complementary acquisitions which added Dots, Crows, Cella’s, Charms, Blow Pop, Junior Mints, Charleston Chew, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Babies, Fluffy Stuff, Andes, Dubble Bubble, Cry Baby and Nik-L-Nip to our portfolio of well-known brands. Mr. Gordon embraced change and was quick to adopt rapidly evolving technological developments in manufacturing, material handling and information technology. He also directed the development of new products and package configurations to meet changing consumer preferences and evolving trade channels. Throughout his many years as Chairman, the Company saw great growth and success. Today Tootsie Roll is a leading confectioner with a diverse portfolio of well-known brands, seven plants across the United States, Canada and Mexico, and sales in many countries throughout the world. Mr. Gordon’s life represented the very highest values in business, wisdom, generosity, and integrity. His dedication to Tootsie Roll for over fifty years as Board Chair, his creativity, his optimism and his relentless determination to succeed were an inspiration to all who knew him.

They are readily available at your local supermarket or health food store. Understand that current federal food labeling guidelines do not require manufacturers to disclose the potential for traces of these allergens to be introduced into their products. Items marked with a (green checkmark) are certified by their manufacturers to be free of these allergens, whether on their packaging, promotional literature, website, or in writing to us. We believe these snacks provide a good means of limiting the potential for contact reactions in the classroom but it is up to the parent of a child allergic to these foods to determine each snack’s suitability depending upon the circumstances specific to the child. Please read and understand the following disclaimer before using this guide: DISCLAIMER: ALL INFORMATION REGARDING INGREDIENTS AND MANUFACTURING PROCEDURES WERE COMPILED FROM CLAIMS MADE BY THE PRODUCTS’ MANUFACTURERS ON THEIR LABELS OR THROUGH OTHER MEANS AND MAY ALREADY BE OUT OF DATE. ALTHOUGH EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO BE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE, WE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS MADE BY US OR THE PRODUCTS’ RESPECTIVE MANUFACTURERS.
