FAQs
We believe that dessert should only induce joy - never stress!
That's why our marshmallows are completely free of nearly all top allergens: dairy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish, wheat, gluten, and sesame. They DO contain FISH-based (tilapia) gelatin. Certain seasonal offerings contain soy - and if they do, we always note it in their description.
To limit cross contamination, we work in a non-shared kitchen dedicated to making our products. We make every effort to use ingredients that are clear of allergens. However, sometimes we do use an ingredient that states it was made in a facility that also makes foods containing top allergens.
Our family has some pretty severe food allergies - so we know the worries of cross-contamination. It's actually one of the reasons we created The PoshMallow! Don't hesitate to reach out for further clarification at: theposhmallow@gmail.com.
Are PoshMallows Kosher?
YES! The PoshMallow is certified by the Capitol K - Vaad HaRabanim of Greater Washington. We use only Kosher-certified ingredients, and all products are made by our observant, Modern Orthodox owner, in a Kosher kitchen, using dedicated Pareve (non-dairy/non-meat) supplies and cookware.

What are artificial-dyes, and why won't you use them?
At The PoshMallow, we aim to create treats with the fewest possible ingredients - ones that you'll recognize as real foods. In fact, most of our mallows have absolutely no coloring added at all! To enhance the experience of certain PoshMallow flavors, we sometimes use a naturally-sourced food coloring, made from fruits and vegetables.
Artificial dyes (such as Blue 1, Blue 2, Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, & Yellow 6), are made from synthetic chemicals, and we do not use them unless requested by the client for custom orders.

How long do they keep?
PoshMallows keep longer than they last (unless you hide them from yourself)!
In an airtight container, PoshMallows keep about 4 weeks at room temperature, 2-3 weeks for optimum freshness. You can also pop them in the freezer to give yourself more time - just fully defrost to room temperature before enjoying!
