The Feingold Program

What is Feingold?
The Feingold Program promotes the elimination of all synthetic ingredients from food and personal care products to control the symptoms of ADHD and other conditions. According to the program, some people also experience sensitivity to salycilates, chemicals that occur naturally in many plant foods. Stage 1 of the program eliminates both salicylates and all synthetic ingredients. Stage 2 eliminates synthetic ingredients only (for those who have ruled out salicylate sensitivity).

Because regular candy is filled with artificial dyes, flavors, and preservatives, it can be difficult to find Feingold-acceptable candy at your local store. We are pleased to offer a wide assortment of Feingold-approved candy, as well as many more candies that meet Feingold guidelines.

How do we determine if a candy is Feingold-approved?
All items identified as F1 or F2 in our store have been approved by the Feingold Association of the United States and appear in their Feingold Food List.

Note: Since none of the products at NaturalCandyStore.com contain artificial ingredients, all of the candies we carry should, in theory, be acceptable for Feingold Stage 2 even if they have not been formally approved by the Association. For items that do not display the F1 or F2 dots, please examine the ingredients information to determine if a particular product meets your personal dietary needs.

Why are both F1 and F2 items included in the Feingold 2 category?
Those following Feingold Stage 2 can consume items from both Stage 1 and Stage 2. Therefore, both types of items are included. The Stage 1 category includes Stage 1 items exclusively.
