Nellson Nutraceutical produces nutrition bars and functional powders for major brands and retailers across the United States and Canada — but it hasn’t always been that way.
The Anaheim, Calif.-based company’s origin is in the confectionery industry. Founded in 1962 by the Nellson family, Nellson Candies, as it was known then, made a mix of chocolate and non-chocolate products, among them AstroPop lollipops.
