Consumption of confectionary rises between the ages of 25-34 and 35-44 and then declines as the consumer gets older. The majority of confectionary consumption is done by consumers in the age range of 25-45. Consumers over the age of 34 purchase more candy than those between the ages of 18 and 34.
Most candies do have expiration dates, but like most foods, these dates serve more as guidelines for when to consume them. It's generally fine to eat candy past its expiration date, though the quality and texture does decline after a certain point.
The new guidelines call for less than 25 grams (6 teaspoons) of sugar per day for children ages 2 to 18 years.
