Goldbears

Goldbears are a brand of gummy bears produced by the German confectioner Haribo. Marketed internationally, they are among the company's best-known products and one of the most recognizable gummy candies worldwide.

Gummy bears were first created in 1922 by Hans Riegel Sr. in Bonn under the name Gummibärchen. Haribo's Goldbears were introduced later and became a flagship product, contributing to the global popularity of gummy bears.

The candy is made from gelatin, sugar, glucose syrup, starch, and flavorings and colorings. The traditional five flavors associated with Goldbears are strawberry, orange, lemon, pineapple, and raspberry, typically produced in red, orange, yellow, green, and colorless colors.

Goldbears are distributed worldwide and packaged in various sizes for retail and impulse purchases. In addition to the standard version, several market-specific variants have appeared, including sugar-free and other formulations. Some markets offer alternative ingredients, such as vegetarian or vegan options.

As a widely recognized candy, Goldbears have become a reference point in discussions of gummy candies and international confectionery.
