Context
The Jelly Belly Candy Company, most commonly known as Jelly Belly, is an American company that produces jelly beans and other candy. It is currently based in Fairfield.

Jelly beans
The company's signature product, the Jelly Belly jelly bean, comes in more than 50 varieties, ranging from traditional flavors like orange, lemon, lime, and cherry, to more exotic ones like cinnamon, pomegranate, cappuccino, buttered popcorn, and chili-mango. Several flavors have been based on popular alcoholic beverages, beginning with Mai Tai in 1977. Over the years, new additions have included strawberry daiquiri, margarita, mojito, and piña colada. Draft beer, a flavor inspired by Hefeweizen ale, was introduced in 2014. All such flavors are entirely alcohol-free. Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans (2000) were inspired by the Harry Potter book series and featured intentionally gruesome flavors such as Vomit, Earwax, Soap, Rotten Egg and Grass. A similar product dubbed "BeanBoozled" was launched in 2007 and pairs lookalike normal flavors with weird flavors, such as Peach and Barf.

"Sport Beans" are jelly beans designed to provide physical energy and enhance athletic performance. They contain carbohydrates, electrolytes (in the form of sodium and potassium), and vitamins B1, B2, B3 and C. "Extreme Sport Beans" include the additional boost of caffeine.

Other candies
The company makes over 100 different confections, including chocolates, licorice, gummies, and candy corn.

Facilities
The company operates three manufacturing plants in Fairfield, California, North Chicago, Illinois, and Rayong, Thailand. A fourth facility in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, acted as distribution and visitor center until liquidation and closure began on August 3, 2020.
