Under the 1938 Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, candy that contains "embedded nonfood items" can't be sold commercially here unless there's a "functional" value, like the stick on a lollipop. ... "What about Cracker Jack?" asks Colleen Gaier, of Dayton, Ohio, who just ordered 48 eggs from Germany. (The FDA's answer: cereal and Cracker Jack prizes are loosely "co-mingled" with the foods, and thus can easily be spotted when the confection is sprinkled into a hand. They aren't "embedded" in such a way that an unsuspecting person taking a bite might also be chomping into the plastic capsule.)
