10 piece (medium) of Haribo (40 g) has 136 calories. That works out to 340 calories per 100 g. It contains 30.8 g of carbs, 2.8 g of protein, 0.1 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 80 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
Haribo is a German confectionery brand best known for its small, bear-shaped gummy sweets. Its range includes brightly coloured, fruit-flavoured chewy candies, with ingredients and shapes varying between products and markets.
The glossy, springy sweets are usually eaten by the handful as an occasional treat, shared at home, on journeys or at the cinema. They taste distinctly sweet, and a 40 g serving provides much of its energy from carbohydrates. Haribo is best enjoyed in a modest portion rather than as a filling snack; pair it with fresh fruit or have it after a meal if you want something sweet without making candy the main part of your snack.

Most Haribo gummy bears are not vegan because their recipes use gelatin, an animal-derived ingredient. Haribo makes different products for different markets, so a specific variety’s ingredient list is the best way to confirm its recipe.
Some Haribo products are halal-certified, while others are not; recipes and certification vary by country and product. Look for a halal certification on the package rather than assuming that a product sold under the Haribo name is halal.
The source of gelatin in Haribo varies by product and market; some varieties use pork gelatin, while others may use gelatin from a different animal. Check the specific package or contact the local manufacturer for the source.
Haribo gummy bears generally contain glucose syrup, sugar, gelatin, acids, flavors, and coloring ingredients. The exact recipe differs across countries and varieties, so the package ingredient list is the reliable source for a particular bag.
Gelatin gives many Haribo gummy bears their springy, chewy texture. The recipe and texture can differ among Haribo varieties, which is why some products feel softer or firmer than the classic bears.
Yes, Haribo Goldbears colors are associated with different fruit flavors. The flavor lineup can vary by market, so the colors should not be assumed to represent exactly the same flavors in every country.
Haribo began in Bonn, Germany, where Hans Riegel founded the company in 1920. The name combines his first and last names with the first letters of Bonn: Hans Riegel Bonn.
Store opened Haribo in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Limiting exposure to air helps prevent the candies from losing moisture and becoming hard or sticky.
Yes, you can freeze Haribo gummy bears, although freezing and thawing may change their texture. Seal them in an airtight container, then let them return to room temperature before eating.
Haribo gummy bears can harden when their packaging is left open and they lose moisture. Resealing the bag tightly or transferring the candies to an airtight container helps preserve their chewy texture.
