Product Information

At regional level, the court decided in favour of Haribo and prohibited sales of Lindt’s bear-shaped chocolates. On appeal, the court’s decision was overruled and and the ruling granted in favour of Lindt, stating that the two products bore no similarity. It was held that chocolate teddies cannot be confused with Haribo’s jelly sweets. It might seem unusual to think of intellectual property in the framework of something as colourful as candy. But believe it or not, it is no less problematic. Haribo entered the UK sweets market by buying Dunhill's in 1992, a manufacturer of liquorice Pontefract cakes which was founded in the 18th century.

Beyond that, Haribo is quite tight-lipped about what makes their gummies such a culinary delight. But outside of the candy industry, food scientists are upfront about the challenges of crafting gummies. “Most gummy confections contain 5 to 10 percent fruit juice and the rest is sugar water,” Vodovotz says. “There are non-synthetic flavors and dyes, but they’re really still mostly chemicals.” Lauren Triffler, head of corporate communications for Haribo of America, says the investigation found no evidence of modern slavery being practiced by the company’s wax suppliers. Still, the company decided to switch suppliers and eventually discontinued its use of carnauba wax, replacing the ingredient with beeswax. Haribo also became a founding member of the Initiative for Responsible Carnauba. Yellow Beeswax: The only real difference between white and yellow beeswax is the filtration process, which results in different colors: Yellow beeswax is a little more true to the natural color of beeswax. Red 40: Red 40, again, is known to be cancerous . But as Shanahan explained above, you probably don’t have to worry about the relatively tiny amounts found in your handful of gummy bears.

This year, Haribo is marking the centenary of its flagship gummy bears with limited edition releases, including single-flavor bags and blue raspberry–flavored party hats, as well as a contest giveaway that will send four winners on a weeklong vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Haribo ( German pronunciation: [ˈhaːʁiːboː], English: / ˈ h ær ɪ b oʊ/ HARR-i-boh) is a German confectionery company founded by Hans Riegel Sr. It began in Kessenich, Bonn, Germany. The name "Haribo" is a syllabic abbreviation formed from Hans Riegel Bonn. [1] The company created the first gummy candy in 1922 in the form of little gummy bears called Gummibärchen. The current headquarters are in Grafschaft, Germany. [2] [3] History [ edit ] Historical Maoam logo in 1931 Jeurissen, Bart (25 March 2021).

We’re often told that you should never eat anything (or put anything on your body) if you don’t recognize everything on the ingredients list. But since most of us have no idea what xanthan gum or potassium benzoate are — or more importantly, what they’re doing to our bodies — we’re decoding the ingredients in the many things Americans put in (and on, or near) themselves. Confectionery was not part of the industry that was considered important for the German government at that time,” he says. “These people [mainly had to] work in coal mines and in other industries that were considered critical for the country.”After the highs of the 1930s, World War II brought Haribo’s success to an abrupt halt. Riegel’s sons, Paul and Hans Riegel Jr., fought on the German side but were captured and held in American prisoner-of-war camps; Riegel himself died in 1945 at age 52, leaving his wife, Gertrud, in charge of company operations. The couple’s sons assumed leadership of Haribo the following year, with Paul overseeing production and Hans Jr. managing marketing and sales. Sugar: One serving (13 gummy bears) contains 14 grams of sugar, or three and a half sugar cubes. That may not be wildly excessive, but it can certainly add up, especially if you eat more than just 13 gummies in a sitting (happens to the best of us). For reference, the American Heart Association recommends men consume no more than 36 grams and women consume no more than 25 grams of added sugar a day.
