Haribo Goldbears 1kg Original German Gummies - 2.2 lb

Haribo Goldbears, 1 kg Bag of German Fruit Gums

Haribo Goldbears is a German fruit gum, and this listing is the 1 kg bag, which is 2.2 lb of bears. Haribo files the product under fruit flavor gums, and the declaration is built on glucose syrup, sugar and gelatine, with fruit juice from concentrate behind the six fruit tastes. This is confectionery. It is not a baby food, no organic claim is made for it, and Haribo publishes no age recommendation for it.

A fruit gum is a sugar and gelatine candy rather than a fruit product. The fruit in a Goldbear arrives as juice from concentrate, and Haribo names six of them on the declaration: apple, raspberry, strawberry, orange, lemon and pineapple. Those six are what the bears taste of. The juice is there for flavor, in quantities the declaration does not break down, and it is not a serving of fruit.

The colors come from food rather than from synthetic dyes, which is the one genuinely interesting thing on the list. Haribo declares a set of fruit and plant concentrates for color: safflower, spirulina, apple, elderberry, orange, blackcurrant, kiwi, lemon, aronia, mango, grape and passion fruit. An elderberry extract and a beeswax glazing agent close the declaration, the beeswax being what gives the bears their slight shine and stops them sticking together in the bag.

Gelatine is the third ingredient and it is what makes a Goldbear chewy rather than soft. Gelatine is an animal protein, so these are not vegetarian and not vegan. Haribo's own product information does not state which animal the gelatine comes from, so neither does this page. If that matters for your household, the pack in your hand is the thing to read before you open it.

It is worth being plain about the sugar, because a bag this size invites grazing. Haribo's published figures are 343 kcal and 46 g of sugars per 100 g, which means roughly half the weight of the bag is sugar. That is ordinary for a fruit gum and it is not a criticism of the product; it is simply the number to have in mind when you decide where a 1 kg bag lives in the house. This is the German market version as listed here.

What a 1 kg bag is for

This is the sharing size. A 1 kg bag is bought for a household rather than for one person: a bowl on a table, a party, a cinema night, a jar refilled from the bag and the rest of it closed and put away. Fruit gums keep well in a sealed bag in a cool cupboard, which is what makes buying this quantity sensible rather than optimistic.

Because most of what this store sells is European baby food, it is worth saying clearly where candy sits: outside all of it. A fruit gum is not part of weaning, it is not a snack in the sense that a rice cake or a fruit pouch is a snack, and it carries no nutritional role at all. It is a treat, it is bought as one, and nothing on this page suggests otherwise.

Haribo publishes no age recommendation for Goldbears, so this page makes no statement about what age they suit. What is worth knowing as general practice is that firm chewy sweets are a recognized choking risk for young children, who have not yet developed the chewing and swallowing control that a gum of this texture needs. Keep a 1 kg bag out of reach rather than within it, and decide for your own household who is old enough for one.

How to serve it and how to keep it

The six steps above are general practice for storing confectionery and for giving sweets to children. They are not manufacturer instructions, and Haribo publishes neither a serving size nor an age recommendation for this product. The best-before date and the storage advice printed on the bag govern.

Every claim on this page, and what Haribo actually says

Candy attracts a lot of loose label language, and the body copy this page replaced carried a good deal of it. The table below sets out which statements come from Haribo's own published product information and which do not appear anywhere. The middle column is the one to read.

Statements removed from the previous version of this page because no source supports them: that these are produced in Germany, the birthplace of the gummy bear; that the German version has a firmer texture and more natural fruit flavor profiles than other versions; that the recipe has made Haribo famous for over 90 years, where Haribo itself says over 100; that the bears contain natural flavoring extracts, where the declaration says flavouring and elderberry extract; and a set of superlatives describing the product as the world's most iconic gummy candy and a premium, timeless favorite. The listing describes this as the German market version, and that is how it is put here: a description of which market's pack is sold, not a manufacturing claim Haribo has published.

What is in it

Nutrition, as published per 100 g

Read as a list, that is three sugars, a gelling protein, six fruit juices, a set of plant concentrates for color, an acid, a little sunflower oil, a flavouring and a wax glaze. The protein figure of 6.9 g per 100 g is the gelatine rather than anything nutritional, and sugars at 46 g per 100 g are close to half the weight of the bag.

• No allergens declared
• No age recommendation published

How long a 1 kg bag lasts, and why there is no serving count here

On a baby cereal this section divides the pack weight by the published portion weight and prints a bowl count. That cannot honestly be done here. Haribo publishes no serving size for Goldbears, no weight per bear and no number of bears per bag, so any servings-per-bag figure would be a number invented on this page rather than read off a source. A shopper planning around an invented number is worse off than one with no number at all.

What can be stated is the pack size and the published nutrition. The bag holds 1 kg, which is 2.2 lb, and the nutrition is given per 100 g rather than per serving. How long that lasts depends entirely on your household, and you are the only person who can set that. If you want a working figure, weigh the portion you actually put in a bowl once and divide 1000 by it.

The pack size is taken from this listing. The nutrition figures are Haribo's own, published per 100 g. No serving size, portion count or per-month figure is given, because none is published for this product and none can be calculated without one.

Written from Haribo's own published product information for Goldbears, which supplies the ingredient declaration reproduced word for word, the six fruit juices, the twelve fruit and plant concentrates used for color, the beeswax glazing agent and the nutrition figures per 100 g. The pack size of 1 kg is taken from this listing. This product is confectionery and is described as such: no organic claim, no vegetarian or vegan claim, no gluten-free claim, no no-added-sugar claim and no age recommendation is made, because Haribo publishes none of them for it, and no weaning or baby-feeding language is used anywhere on this page. Haribo declares no allergens for this product, so none is asserted or ruled out. Claims that the bears are produced in Germany at the birthplace of the gummy bear, that the German version is firmer or more naturally flavored than other versions, and that the recipe is over 90 years old were removed from an earlier version of this page because no source supports them; the storage and child-supervision guidance is general practice rather than manufacturer instruction, and is labeled as such. The bag in your hand carries the complete declaration and governs. Last reviewed 16 October 2026.
