How to Choose Candy: 5 Tips for Selecting Candy
How to choose candy 1. Packaging Quality candy has good moisture-proof packaging, clear trademark patterns, candy names, and factory names. The candy packaging should be tight, neat, and without cracks or looseness. High-end candies have several layers of exquisite packaging. Ordinary candy usually has only one layer of packaging, and some even lack the factory name, indicating poor quality. 2. Appearance Quality candy has a smooth and even surface, without cracks, defects, stickiness, or impurities, and good transparency. Filled candies should not leak filling. If the candy is uneven in size, sticky, or lacks transparency, it is of inferior quality. Each type of candy has its unique aroma; if a certain candy loses its inherent fragrance, it indicates a qualitative change, and consumers should avoid purchasing it.

Milk candy, protein candy, and chocolate candy should have a delicate texture. Inferior candy may have a burnt or bitter taste and other unpleasant flavors. Good candy has intact packaging; hard candy should be hard and brittle; soft candy should be soft and elastic, and filled candy should not leak filling. All candies should not stick to teeth or paper. If there is a sandy texture, it is not advisable to purchase. 4. Quantity Candy produced by regular manufacturers has a certain number of pieces per kilogram, with uniform size. For every kilogram, if there are fewer than 100 pieces, a difference of 2 pieces is allowed; for 100-200 pieces, a difference of 4 pieces is allowed; for more than 200 pieces, a difference of 6 pieces is allowed. If the quantity of candy purchased does not meet the above values, its quality is poor. 5. Melting and Sanding If the surface packaging paper of the candy has slight stickiness, it indicates mild melting; if it starts to melt and deform, it indicates severe melting. A white sandy layer on the candy surface of 1-2m indicates mild sanding; 3-5m indicates severe sanding. Sanding is the phenomenon of sucrose in candy melting and re-crystallizing. Severe sanding makes the candy become brittle and easy to break, which is not advisable to purchase. 5 considerations for selecting candy 1. First, check if the outer packaging is damaged, clean, and if the printing is clear, and if the label is complete and standard. Candy products produced by regular manufacturers should have complete and clear labels, indicating product name, factory name, factory address, ingredient list, net content, product type, execution standard code, shelf life, etc.; do not purchase products with poor printing quality, unclear writing, incomplete labeling, or without a production date. 2. The color of the candy should be normal, uniform, and bright, with a pure aroma and moderate flavor, without any off-flavors; the shape of the candy should be proper, with neat edges, no missing corners or cracks, a shiny and smooth surface, clear patterns, uniform size and thickness, and no visible impurities. 3. Prefer well-known brand products produced by reputable companies sold in large shopping malls and supermarkets. 4. Choose products that are recently produced and have intact packaging. Especially for candies containing dairy products, those past their shelf life are prone to spoilage, appearing yellow and having off-flavors. Additionally, damaged packaging can lead to contamination. 5. Try to eat less candy before bedtime, and brush your teeth after eating candy to prevent cavities.

3. Taste
Good candy has a sweet, smooth, and moderate taste without any off-flavors. Milk candy, protein candy, and chocolate candy should have a delicate texture. Inferior candies may have a burnt or bitter taste and other unpleasant flavors. Good candy has intact packaging; hard candy should be hard and brittle; soft candy should be soft and elastic, and filled candy should not leak. All candies should not stick to teeth or paper. If there is any crystallization, it is not advisable to purchase.
4. Quantity
Candies produced by regular manufacturers have a certain number of pieces per kilogram, with uniform size. For candies with fewer than 100 pieces (blocks) per kilogram, a variance of 2 pieces is allowed; for 100-200 pieces, a variance of 4 pieces is allowed; for more than 200 pieces, a variance of 6 pieces is allowed. If the quantity of purchased candy does not meet these values, the quality is poor.
5. Melting and crystallization
If the surface packaging of the candy has slight stickiness, it indicates mild melting; if it starts to dissolve and deform, it indicates severe melting. A white sandy layer on the candy surface at 1-2m indicates mild crystallization; at 3-5m, it indicates severe crystallization. Crystallization is the phenomenon of sucrose in candy melting and re-crystallizing. Severe crystallization makes the candy brittle and crumbly, which is not advisable to purchase.
