Overview

Tart 'N Tangy Taffy is a candy product brand produced by Sweet Candy Company, a family-owned American confectioner founded in 1892 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The brand is positioned as a sour, fruit-flavored twist on Sweet's long-running Totally Taffy line, combining sweet and tangy notes in a chewy, individually wrapped taffy format. Sweet's describes it as "a twisted new take on our mouth-watering favorite, Totally Taffy." The product is sold in bulk 3lb. bags (listed at $19.99) and in 12oz packs (listed at $9.49), as well as in a Tart 'N Tangy Bundle. It is marketed as gluten-free and Kosher (Parve), and is available through Sweet Candy Company's online store and, per customer reviews, through some retail channels. The flavor assortment includes Berry Blitz, Atomic Apple, Lemon Launcher, Charged Cherry, and Raging Raspberry, each with a distinct color. Sweet Candy Company distributes more than 250 candy items nationally and internationally in bulk, bags, and boxes. The company remains family-owned, with the third, fourth, and fifth generations involved in daily operations. Tart 'N Tangy Taffy sits within Sweet's broader taffy portfolio alongside All-American Taffy, Assorted Taffy, State Fair Taffy, and other flavors, and is part of the company's modern product expansion into sour and non-GMO offerings. As a product brand rather than a standalone company, Tart 'N Tangy Taffy has no independent ownership, headquarters, or financial listing. Its identity is tied to Sweet Candy Company's manufacturing and distribution footprint, including a 180,000-square-foot facility near Salt Lake City International Airport that opened in 1999.

History

Tart 'N Tangy Taffy is a product line from Sweet Candy Company, an American confectioner with roots dating to 1892. According to the company's official history, Leon Sweet started the Sweet Candy Company in Portland, Oregon, in 1892, making candies largely by hand. In 1900, Leon moved the operation from Portland to Salt Lake City, Utah, merging several small specialty stores into one general manufacturing company. Over the decades, Sweet's became more innovative and automated. In 1999, Sweet Candy Company moved into a state-of-the-art, 180,000-square-foot manufacturing and distribution facility located three miles south of Salt Lake International Airport. The company remains family-owned and operated, with the third, fourth, and fifth generations actively involved in daily operations. Sweet's distributes more than 250 quality candy items nationally and internationally in bulk, bags, and boxes. Tart 'N Tangy Taffy is a relatively recent addition to Sweet's taffy portfolio. The company describes it as "a twisted new take on our mouth-watering favorite, Totally Taffy." It is offered in bulk 3lb. bags and 12oz packs, and as part of a Tart 'N Tangy Bundle. The product is positioned as a sour, fruit-flavored taffy with five flavors: Berry Blitz, Atomic Apple, Lemon Launcher, Charged Cherry, and Raging Raspberry. It is certified gluten-free and Kosher Parve, and is made with ingredients including corn syrup, sugar, vegetable oil, malic acid, and natural and artificial flavors. As of the available evidence, Tart 'N Tangy Taffy is sold through Sweet Candy Company's online store and, according to customer reviews, through some retail stores. The brand has no independent corporate history; its story is part of Sweet Candy Company's broader evolution as a family-owned American candy maker.
