A Quebec-based confectionery company has apologized and Sobeys has removed a product from its shelves after a display for Sweet Sixteen candies advertised "barely legal levels of sweetness." The display for Mondoux's Sweet Sixteen candy was only available at the grocer's convenience stores and fuel locations in Atlantic Canada. “Sweet Sixteen: barely legal levels of sweetness”. "We were made aware of the product marketing for Sweet Sixteen candy yesterday evening and took immediate action," spokesperson Natasha Compton said in an email. The statement said Mondoux, which sells products in Quebec, Atlantic Canada, Ontario, Western Canada and Nunavut, has pulled the displays of the Sweet Sixteen brand from stores.
