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

What are facts about M and M's?
Fact #1: Forrest Mars came up with the idea for M & Ms during the Spanish Civil War. He discovered that soldiers were looking for a taste of home, in the form of chocolate, but needed something that could withstand hot temperatures.

What happens when you chomp on a wintergreen lifesaver candy?
The lifesaver sparks in your mouth
If you take the lifesavers into a pitch-black room (a bathroom
usually works the best) you can watch science in action. I find it
works best with a friend because then you can share the feeling
of amazement, but it also works if you are by yourself and look in
the mirror.
In the darkened room chew the lifesaver with your mouth open
(chomping) and if you get the right crunch your friend or yourself
will see sparks of blue lights making your mouth glow.
The reason you see these sparks is because of an effect
called triboluminescence. Triboluminescence is emission
of light as a result of something being crushed or torn,
in this case, crystalline sugars. When the candy is crushed
electrons are released and these electrons collide with
nitrogen molecules in the air, which causes a vibration that
results in an ultraviolet spark.
