Sugar confectionery (including white chocolate), not containing cocoa

In plain English

This category covers sweet treats made with sugar that do not include cocoa. It separates these items into two groups based on whether they are chewing gum. One group consists specifically of chewing gum, regardless of whether it has a sugar coating. The other group includes all other sugar confectionery, such as white chocolate, but excludes chewing gum.
