How did the candy cane get its color?

Answer 1

There was a candy maker who wanted to spread the Gospel of the Bible with other people by a candy he would create. So, he used the pure white letter "j" (from Jesus) to represent that Christ is the pure Lamb of God. The large red stripe is for the blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross for our sins. And the mint flavor is similar to hyssop which was used for cleaning sacred buildings and is was also a medicinal plant. Because Christ was our "medicine" to "cure" our sins, the candy maker used peppermint.

Answer 2

At the candy factory they add either sugar colored dyes or just regular food coloring.

Basically, one or more chemical (synthetic) food dyes are added. Even you could buy a pack of "Food coloring" in the store. There are usually four bottles or tubes included (red, yellow, green, blue). If the candy or creation needs purple, just mix blue and red colors.

These colored dyes have been tested in the lab to be safe for ingestion, occasionally some colors have been pulled due to safety concerns.
