About CARNIVAL DAYS WATERMELON, ROOT BEER FLOAT AND COTTON CANDY TAFFY MIX, CARNIVAL DAYS

Favorite Day Carnival Days Watermelon, Root Beer Float and Cotton Candy Taffy Mix is a three-flavor assorted taffy candy sold under Target's Favorite Day private-label brand. Taffy is a type of pulled sugar candy with a characteristically chewy and elastic texture, made by aerating a cooked sugar mass. This product is positioned as a novelty confection with carnival-themed flavors.

The mix contains three separately declared taffy varieties. Watermelon taffy is made from corn syrup, sugar, vegetable oil (sunflower or coconut), malic acid, sodium citrate, egg whites, artificial flavor, salt, caramel color, and a complex dye system including Blue 2 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Red 40 Lake, Red 40, Yellow 5, Red 3, soy lecithin, and Blue 1. Root beer float taffy uses corn syrup, sugar, vegetable oil, egg whites, natural and artificial flavor, salt, Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1. Cotton candy taffy is the simplest, using corn syrup, sugar, vegetable oil, natural and artificial flavor, egg whites, salt, and Blue 1. All three varieties use egg whites, making this product non-vegan. The heavy reliance on synthetic dyes — eight distinct colorants in the watermelon variety alone — is characteristic of carnival-style novelty confections targeting visual appeal. Allergens include eggs (egg whites in all three varieties) and soy (soy lecithin in watermelon taffy).
