Are sour punch bites kosher?
Answers:
I found a site which has done extensive testing of many popular candies to determine which are kosher. They list 3 Musketeers, Hershey, Snickers, and many other favorites, but the only "sour" listing they had was for Sour Fruit Balls by the Peerless company. "Sour Punch Bites" are made by American Licorice Company, and they were not listed.

This site below lists reviews of candies, and the ones they know are kosher they mark as kosher. I notice their review of Sour Punch Bites does not mention kosher.

The website, http://www.sourpunch.com , does not give any information under Product Info about whether the product is kosher.
The product is made by American Licorice Company.
This site, called Star-K, certifies whether companies are kosher.
On this page you will find a downloadable pdf file about the American Licorice company's certification.

However, that page appears to only address the company's licorice products. You may have to contact the company directly.
