The Wurzel family business now operates from a 45,000-square-foot Amityville facility and supports retailers with a system refined over more than six decades. Calico is also the only manufacturer of fudge and nut ingredients identified on its site as holding Safe Quality Food certification, earning an “Excellent” rating from NSF International.
