We couldn’t agree more, Marco Capurso! #TeamFerrara
As I share the recent New York Times article about NERDS Gummy Clusters, I feel fortunate to be part of the company creating this incredible, innovative – and delicious – product. I would like to celebrate and thank the entire Ferrara community, as this special innovation has changed the entire sugar candy market and our industry. We put the consumer at the heart of everything we do, and it is incredibly gratifying to know that this focus has created the top-selling sugar confection in the US. I am so looking forward to all that comes next from this fantastic #TeamFerrara. nyti.ms/3NMZ1l5
