American Licorice Company


imageAmerican Licorice Company

American Licorice Company is an American candy manufacturer founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1914, and headquartered in Bend, Oregon. The company has manufacturing facilities in Union City, California and La Porte, Indiana.

In 1925, the company began West operations in San Francisco, California. That same year, it produced a set of licorice shoes for Charlie Chaplin's character to eat in the film The Gold Rush.

In 1971, the San Francisco facility relocated to Union City, California.

In November 1999, American Licorice Co. joined with Ferrara Pan, Spangler, Goetze's, and NECCO to form the Candy Alliance LLC. The Alliance works to promote the mutual interests involved, through the coordination of ingredient purchasing to get lower prices, the creation of cooperative marketing and distribution programs, and the cross-licensing and development of joint products.

In 2008, The Food Network program Unwrapped featured a four-minute segment on the making of Sour Punch straws. As of 2008, American Licorice Company also manufactures the Sour Extinguishers brand of candy.

In 2011, workers at the American Licorice Company went on strike to maintain their healthcare benefits.

On 22 August 2012 the company recalled one pound bags of Red Vines Black Licorice Twists due to traces of lead.

Red Vines


Red Vines is a brand of red licorice candy manufactured in Union City, California by the American Licorice Company. Red Vines Original Red Twists are also sometimes referred to as red licorice despite containing no licorice. The original Red Vines were raspberry-flavored, but in 1952, with a slight formula change, the Red Vines Original Red Twist flavor was introduced.

In August 2012 the California Department of Public Health announced a recall of one lot of Red Vines' black licorice candy due to lead contamination. Only the one-pound packages marked "Best Before 020413" were recalled. Testing found that candy in the contaminated lot had as much as 0.33 parts per million of lead resulting in up to 13.2 micrograms of lead per serving. This was more than double the limit of 6.0 micrograms of lead per day from all dietary sources for children under 6 years old.

Fox science-fiction drama television series Fringe frequently refers to Red Vines throughout its five season run, as it is the preferred candy by the character Doctor Walter Bishop. In the season 2 premiere, "A New Day in the Old Town", he is even seen eating Red Vines while conducting an autopsy. After the TV series was renewed for a fourth season on March 24, 2011, co-star Josh Jackson publicly stated his appreciation of Fringe fans for sending Red Vines to Fox in an effort to campaign for a renewal.

Red Vines are brought up in several episodes of the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory. In the season 2 episode The Financial Permeability the unacceptable differences between Twizzlers and Red Vines was used as a plot point when deciding where to see a movie. They are mentioned again in the season 4 episodes The Hot Troll Deviation and The Herb Garden Germination.
