A serving of the organic and kosher certified candy provides the daily requirement of Vitamin C. “It’s an honor for Chewie Fruities to be included among so many great companies and products that have been named finalists,” Burke said. “We’ve had a great deal of interest in the candy at retail, but it is also terrific to be recognized among our industry peers.”
