  • Necco Dispute Clears Hurdle in Bankrtuptcy Court
    CHESTO MEANS BUSINESS Necco dispute clears hurdle in bankruptcy court By Jon Chesto Globe Staff, July 24, 2019, 8:25 p.m. The NECCO factory in Revere. (ARAM BOGHOSIAN FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE) The Sky Bar, Sweethearts, and Candy Buttons all have new owners, as does the shuttered Necco factory in Revere that had once churned out a sea of confections that would make Willy Wonka proud. But the roughly $10 million left over from the sale of Greater Boston’s last great candy maker? That remains untouched amid a dispute between a bankruptcy trustee and Necco’s former parent company. The trustee, Harold Murphy, just won a significant victory in US bankruptcy court in Boston. Judge Melvin Hoffman essentially denied nearly every effort by Necco’s former parent firm, Ares Capital, to dismiss a case brought by Murphy. Ares had acquired a previous private-equity owner of Necco, ACAS. The case now moves forward, with a trial expected next year. Murphy has sued Ares, claiming the investment firm and its predecessor piled debt onto the Necco business while running the once massive candy empire into the ground. Murphy wants Necco’s former suppliers and other unsecured creditors to be fully reimbursed for the bills left unpaid by the candy company’s demise last year, a figure that totals at least $20 million. Murphy is trying to persuade the judge to knock Ares from its position as first in line for the proceeds from the Necco sale. (Ares was a secured creditor as well as the former owner.) He also claims that ACAS enriched itself from Necco over the years, even as the candy business bled tens of millions.

  • Lifesaver Gummies Gluten Free
    Lifesaver gummies gluten free Continue Over the past few days I've been working on some research and email companies to try to bring you the best list of gluten candy that I can. This is by no means complete. What I mean is, it doesn't contain all the candy out there that's gluten free. If that were the case, it probably would have been as long as the book! I didn't include any of the specialty candy brands that only work with gluten-free candy, but decided to focus on the fact that normal candy is safe. This is because it is likely that you and your children will come into contact with these basic way candies more often than that of nature.5 million. As always, please make sure to check the labels. While all this information is current, it does not guarantee that manufacturers will not change their recipes or production processes. Tic Tacs, according to the company, is gluten-free. They said none of their items contained gluten containing non-gradiants. For more information, you can contact the manufacturer of Tic Tacs, Ferrero at 732-764-9300. Jelly belly jelly beans are considered company to be gluten-free. All their jelly beans, in all tastes are safe. However, sometimes Jelly Belly will pack its items as a mixed set that may contain malt milk balls, or other candies that are not safe. Always make sure to check the packaging... As long as its just jelly beans, you are free and clear. You can contact Jelly Belly at 800-522-3267.

  • Gluten Free Candy List “ROCK”TOBER 2007
    Gluten Free Candy List “ROCK”TOBER 2007 Disclaimer: This list is for reference only and the user should contact manufacturers directly. It is a guideline and the user accepts full responsibility for use of it. At the time of it’s posting, it is believed to be accurate with current gluten-free information. As a gluten-free consumer, you are responsible for making your own food selections. I am not a medical expert; I’m a mom of a Celiac first grader who is always on a quest for gluten-free knowledge. Notes: Please beware of candy that is not in its “normal shape.” Often times, that means the ingredients are different, and could very well contain gluten. Bags of mixed treats that do have gluten containing treats that touch each other should be discarded due to cross-contamination. If there is a treat that may not be listed on here, do not be alarmed… just check with the manufacturer. I couldn’t get them all on here and I’m sure there are some I have forgotten or overlooked. Thanks: I would like to thank all of the people who have shared information to make this list possible… including several ROCK leaders (Sue & Elissa of NJ ROCK, Carrie of Reno ROCK, Melissa of TampaBay ROCK, Becky of San Diego ROCK) who consistently share their information with me and our ROCK Northern Virginia chapter. I’d also like to thank Lindsay Amadeo of Iowa (who maintains a wonderful GF commercial product listing which includes many tricks and treats). This year we also had the help of Pat Mazza Vlamis.

  • Recharging an American Classic: Sweet Manufacturing
    Recharging an American Classic: Sweet Manufacturing Necco Wafers®, Clark® Bar, Sweethearts®, Mary Jane®, Mighty Malts® Malted Milk Balls, Haviland® Thin Mints, and Candy House® Candy Buttons®; Wow, what a blast from the past! These great American classics conjure images of hot summer days, worn out cut-offs and endless free time. They are a tribute to the American spirit and the hard work that made this Nation great. Thanks to The New England Confectionery Company (NECCO), these cherished candies are 100% all natural and still available for enjoyment today. Dating back to the summer of 1847, Necco is the oldest multi- line candy company in the United States. 162 years later, in late 2009, Necco had the type of problem that most companies hope for: their sales team had done too good of a job selling. They weren’t sure how to make and package all the candy they needed for the upcoming Valentines season. Necco would have to nearly double their throughput on old equipment and do so in less than 4 months. Through mutual relations Munro & Associates was introduced to Necco and the journey began. With a short window to show our worth, Munro poured in with a no-holds barred attitude and became an integral part of the team that made the season a success. First order of business: quickly eliminate rolling shut downs being caused by material shortages and boost capacity in existing systems. Munro is different from most other consulting companies; we put feet on the floor and got to work. Armed with 22 years of lean manufacturing experience, Munro applied 5S principles and sound machine engineering to make the plant hum.
