Are most candy products made in Mexico as safe to eat as the ones made in the US?

Answer 1

The answer depends on the type of candy you're refering to. For example, I can assure you that almost (because not even in the US is all) all the products made in Mexico that are sold in the US are safe to eat. Because for them to be sold in the US, they have to pass a series of regulations and analysis that ensure them to be exported to different countries including the US.

I work in a big candy factory which I won't say the name but it sells these little round chocolates with colored candy cover and a letter printed in them, here in Mexico, and the Quality Assurance is excellent. But in Mexico there are many, in fact, almost every candy is based in our culture which has a lot of years of history. So those types of candies are not made in factories but in small places with equipment that is not technologic, because it is not necessary.

Of course there are Mexican candy factories with all the required equipment with the best technology as the one I work for, (we also produce Mexican candies not just the common chocolates), and as this one, there are others with excellent quality control.

So, to make it short, if the candies are sold in the US or in developed country, you can bet they have as much quality as any other US candy. If the candies are sold in Mexico, you should see the candy and if it looks handmande it could be contaminated but still, that's a small chance, it could hardly happen anything bad to you, so, give them a try, you won't taste anything like that from Another Country ;)

Answer 2

If you are eating food products from Mexico and you are in the United States or any other country outside of Mexico, most probably the product you are consuming has passed several sanitary checks before it was imported and sold to the public.

On the other hand, if you are eating food IN Mexico, you should be aware of the painful and exhausting Montezuma's Revenge. To prevent it from ever happening, you should only drink and eat the meals prepared at the hotel you are staying. If you are venturing out, you must drink bottled water only, and if it is your first time in Mexico, don't eat spicy sauces, as they can wreak havoc through your digestive system.

If you happen to get sick, don't use the drugs commonly used for indigestion, as they won't do anything to alleviate the problem. You should go to the hotel's infirmary, as they will know what antibiotics to give you.
