Gelatin free gummy bear type candies.

http://www.confectionerynews.com/R-D/Wrigley-develops-gelatin-free-chewy-candy

A new patent has been filed which would enable chewy and gummy products to be made without gelatin. According to the article Wrigley's is especially aware of the need to eliminate gelatin for those who observe dietary restrictions. This probably means vegetarians, observant Jews and Muslims who are strict in following halal rules.

Potentially it means lots of products can be switched to becoming kosher, and those giving heterim for gelatin and gelatin like products can be put out of their misery.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for this to be applicable.

Best wishes

Quebec strawberries virus spread by "APHIDS" (parasites)

Virus devastates strawberry fields in Quebec

BY CHRISTOPHER CURTIS, THE GAZETTEJULY 11, 2014

Strawberry farmer Louis Marineau explains at his family’s Marineau Farm in Laval north of Montreal, how the strawberry blight is affecting this year’s crop on many Quebec farms.

MONTREAL — These days, Martin Marineau is out of bed and working the fields just after sunrise. No matter what the day throws at him, whether it’s sweltering heat, rain or some man-made obstacle, he’ll likely only punch out at around 10 p.m.

Marineau will keep this routine up seven days a week for the next month. It’s the height of strawberry picking season in Quebec and the longtime farmer knows he only has a small window of time to get his harvest in crates and ready for customers.

But like so many of the province’s 700 strawberry farmers, Marineau’s crops have been devastated by the mild yellow edge virus and the strawberry mottle virus.
