They are typically made with sugar or glucose syrup, a gelling agent, acids, and fruit juice or concentrate. The gelling agent may be gelatin or pectin, so the exact ingredients vary by product.
Not necessarily. Fruit juice does not turn them into a nutritious fruit snack: they are still sweets and are ultra-processed. Treat them as candy rather than as a replacement for whole fruit.
Many contain fruit juice or juice concentrate, but the amount varies. Even when juice is included, fruit juice gummy bears do not provide the same experience or nutritional value as eating whole fruit.
Yes. Warm fruit juice with gelatin, or use agar for a plant-based version, pour the mixture into small molds, and chill until set. Homemade gummies may have a different texture and keep for less time than packaged ones.
Usually not if they contain gelatin, which is animal-derived. Some fruit juice gummy bears use pectin instead and may be vegan; check the ingredient list for the gelling agent.
Their chewy, sugary texture makes them cling to tooth surfaces and settle into grooves. This can leave sugar in contact with teeth for longer, so rinse with water after eating and brush regularly.
They can soften and become sticky in heat, although they do not melt like chocolate. Keep fruit juice gummy bears away from direct sunlight and hot places to help them hold their shape.
Seal the opened pack tightly or move the fruit juice gummy bears to an airtight container, then keep them somewhere cool and dry. Exposure to air and humidity can make them hard, sticky, or less pleasant to chew.
They are not a good choice for toddlers because their chewy, sticky shape can pose a choking risk. Wait until a child can chew safely, and supervise closely whenever they eat chewy sweets.
They lose moisture when left exposed to air, which makes the gel firmer and harder to chew. Close the package promptly after serving and store it in a cool, dry place.

Fruit juice gummy bears are soft, chewy sweets shaped like little bears, made with fruit juice as part of the recipe. Their bright fruit flavours and springy texture make them an easy snack to share or tuck into a lunchbox.
They’re commonly eaten straight from the packet, whether at the cinema, on a journey or as a small sweet after a meal. The taste is candy-sweet rather than like eating whole fruit, and the juice in the recipe doesn’t make them a substitute for it. They are mainly a source of carbohydrates and provide very little fibre; a 100 g portion has 77 g of carbohydrates. For a lighter snack, take a few from the packet and pair them with fresh fruit or plain yoghurt.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
