Frequently Asked Questions

Our Products

1What is the best way to store Numa?

Our taffies will get harder in the cold and softer in the heat, but still taste great when exposed to the heat or cold. They are processed at over 250 degrees F temperatures and will not spoil in the heat. They are best stored between 60-70 degrees F away from the sun. Refrigeration is not required, but if you find them a bit soft for your taste, you can toss them in for a few minutes to harden them up!

Our mini peanut butter bars will not melt in heat and are not impacted by the cold. They are best stored at room temperature away from the sun.

2Help! My taffies melted.

In the summer, there will be an option to add a cold pack to your shipment, however it is not required as our taffies can handle up to 200 degrees F without spoiling. If they still arrive softer than you prefer you may try putting them in the fridge to firm them up. If they arrived in unconsumable condition, please send us a photo of them at hello@numafoods.com and we'll send you a refund.

3What is Maltose?

Maltose is a natural sweetener made from fermented grains (usually rice) used since Ancient Chinese times. It is 50% less sweet than normal table sugar and possesses high levels of fiber and potassium. It is the main sweetener in our taffies and often considered just as, if not more, healthy than honey.

4How is your maltose upcycled?

We source our maltose only from farmers who utilize waste grains in production. Waste grains are grains that are unfit for consumption and thus, likely to be thrown out - they are the largest contribution group to food waste in the world.

5Are your candies Vegetarian/Vegan?

Our taffy products are vegetarian, but NOT vegan as they do contain milk, butter, and egg whites.

Our mini peanut butter bars are vegan.

6Are your candies gluten-free?

1How long should I expect until I get my order?

For ground shipments in the US, please allow 5-7 business days for delivery. Orders after 3pm EST generally will not ship until the next business day.

Packages that are left out in the sun or require multiple delivery attempts have the highest likelihood of melting – we appreciate your help in ensuring the smoothest delivery process possible.
