According to the Associated Content, the Hershey Company has closed down and moved several candy making facilities in the United States and Canada to Mexico. The Hershey Company is the USA's leading candy maker. It is the candy we grew up with and love, and the name Hershey has long been synonymous with chocolate itself in America. Jolly Ranchers and Twizzlers are also made by the Hershey Company.
The work force in the candy manufacturing facilities in Lancaster County and Harrisburg, PA were reduced significantly. The plants in Reading, PA, Connecticut and California were shut down completely, as well as two in Canada.
As of this date, there have been no reports of any issues with lead contamination or other problems with any Hershey products.
