Product Information

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. The Riegel brothers transformed their father’s company into a candy superpower, expanding its product line and upping the number of employees from just 30 after the war to about 1,000 in 1950. As Haribo continued to grow in the 1950s and ’60s, executives capitalized on new marketing tools, including television. “The brand was one of the first in Germany to do advertisements on television,” says Bahlmann, “so that made [Haribo] and the product really popular.”

At my age, I am concerned with developing insulin resistance, and I regularly monitor my blood glucose. 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.

She switches up the traditional formula and uses freeze-dried fruits and powdered vegetables to design supplements with a gummy-like chew for cancer patients. Compared to the classic candy, these hold much more fiber and plant matter, which creates a jam-like consistency on the insides. Gelatin is a no-go because it’s not gluten-free or vegan—so, Vodovotz gets creative with a variety of gelling agents to account for the acidity and calcium levels of her ingredients. Grapefruit, for example, has a low pH, so it pairs best with agar as opposed to pectin or starch. Diese Slogans sind unvergessen!". Bild (in German). 26 June 2016.

Amann, Susanne; Kühn, Alexander (2018). "Haribo ist ein demokratisches Produkt, es muss aber nicht politisch sein". Der Spiegel (36): 62–64. Christine E Torok from Pennsylvania wrote that, after eating 20 bears, "What came out of me felt like someone tried to funnel Niagara Falls through a coffee straw". Other customers complained that, after eating the bears, "I was in excruciating pain and passed enough gas to inflate the Hindenberg", that "these things should be outlawed or used as a military weapon", and that "If u buy these gummy bears u will be running to the toilet!!" The keys to Haribo’s success include its consistency and the quality of its candy and product marketing. “They’ve really been able to maintain that position in the marketplace,” says Kimmerle.Riegel debuted his gummy prototype, dubbed the Dancing Bear, or Tanzbären in German, in 1922. Larger and slimmer than modern gummy bears, the Tanzbären’s shape was reportedly inspired by the real dancing bears that once entertained children at festivals across Europe. 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. [13] [14] If you have glucose meter, test your glucose an hour after and once again 2-3 hours after and observe the differences of both. If you do not have a meter, just take notes on how you feel once every hour from lunch until 3 hours later. 95% of people I know who try this test can tell a massive difference and give up corn syrup where possible.

All in all, the average person’s liver should be able to break down whatever minuscule amount of artificial coloring we consume with food, drink, and of course, gummy bears.

Susan Benjamin, a candy historian, author and the owner of True Treats Historic Candy in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, notes that these earlier candies had “already set” the formula later finetuned by Riegel. His innovation was, in part, “the shape of the bear, [which was] very comforting and sweet.” Triffler points out that Haribo is also tinkering with vegan and gluten-free options. These future candies will hopefully hit the same tender notes that Riegel once simmered up with a modern-day, diet-inclusive twist. And though people’s tastes might change over time, in the end, they’ll always want two things: a gummy they can really sink their teeth into and a departure from the ordinary. In August 2007, the product range was partly changed by adding apple as a new flavor and giving it the color green. The strawberry flavor, which was hitherto assigned to the color green, was recolored to light red. Additionally, the shape of the Goldbears was slightly changed, compared to the former generations, by giving them a smiling face. [12] Several varieties of Goldbears available in Germany since 2007 My feeling is that the gummy’s true predecessor is jelly or jam, as a way to preserve fruit cooked with pectin, and sometimes starches,” says Kimmerle. “[L]ater on, Japanese rice candies [made] the appeal of jellies portable. Gummies became a way to have a bite of a fruit jelly” on the go.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.” 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. I can say with scientific accuracy that consuming corn syrup in any large volume (say half a bag of gummies), makes my body switch into insulin production overdrive to deal with the corn syrup. The end result is two to three hours later I actually develop low glucose levels. This indicates that my body is so sensitive to corn syrup that it over produces insulin and I run out of glucose to to deal with it as it has been pushed to my urine and my sugar drop below normal levels. 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.
