Trolli Green Apple Rings Sour Gummies, 150 g, German market version
Trolli Apfelringe are German apple ring gummies: soft, chewy rings with a sweet-and-sour green apple flavour, in a 150 g bag. This is the German market version, so the ingredient declaration and nutrition figures on this page are Trolli's own German ones. The colour comes from safflower and spirulina rather than synthetic dyes, and the rings are made with gelatine.
The recipe is short for a confectionery and the order of it tells you what the sweet is. Glucose syrup and sugar come first, which is what gives a gummy its chew. Gelatine is third and is the setting agent, the thing that makes a ring hold its shape and bite back. Then come the two acids, lactic acid and citric acid, which are the sour.
What is notable is what is doing the colouring. Trolli lists colouring foods, specifically safflower and spirulina: a yellow from the flower and a blue-green from the algae, which together make the green. Colouring foods are concentrates of actual foods rather than synthetic colourants, and they are the reason the green here reads as a slightly muted one rather than a neon.
The flavour side is equally short. Natural flavouring and apple juice concentrate are the last two entries on the list, with sorbitol in between them as a humectant, which is what keeps the rings from drying hard in the bag. There is no fat in them at all: the nutrition panel gives 0 g, saturates included.
Who this is for is older children, teenagers and adults who like a sour sweet, and it is worth being plain that this is confectionery rather than a children's food. Half of it by weight is sugar. It is a treat for a sweet bowl, a party or a lunchbox on a Friday, not something to give a small child as a snack, and the rings are the wrong shape and texture for a toddler.

Who these are for, and who they are not for
These are a sweet, and they sit alongside the rest of the German confectionery here rather than alongside the baby food. The sourness is the draw: lactic and citric acid together give a sharper edge than a plain fruit gum, which is why apple rings have their following among people who seek out German sweets specifically.
They are a reasonable choice for a child old enough to chew a firm gummy safely and to understand that a bag is not a meal. They are not a choice for a baby or a toddler. A ring-shaped gummy is firm, it needs real chewing, and nothing about a 50 percent sugar confection belongs in a weaning diet.
They are also not a product for anyone avoiding animal-derived ingredients. Gelatine is the third ingredient, and gelatine is made from animal collagen, so these rings are not suitable on a vegetarian or a vegan diet. Trolli does make a separate explicitly vegan range, but these are not part of it and no vegetarian or vegan claim is made for them.
If you are shopping for a baby or toddler
This is not the page for that. For an unsweetened fruit snack for a baby, the Holle pouches are the comparable thing here: Red Bee, apple with strawberry is apple-led with no added sugar, and Zebra Beet, apple and banana with beetroot is suitable from the 6th month.
How to serve them, and how to keep them
A firm chew, so mind who you give them to
These are firm, ring-shaped gummies that need chewing. Give them to children who are old enough to manage that, supervise younger ones, and do not give them to babies or toddlers. A gummy ring is not a shape a small child should be eating unsupervised.
Trolli publishes no portion size, no serving suggestion and no age guidance for this product, so none is stated here as a manufacturer figure. The notes below are general practice for a confectionery rather than manufacturer instructions. Follow whatever is printed on the bag you receive.
Ready to eatNo preparation needed
Reseal or decantThe bag is not resealable
Cool and dryAway from sunlight
SuperviseFirm chew, ring shape
1
Check the bag before opening
The bag should be sealed and the rings loose inside rather than fused into a block, which is what happens if a bag has been warm for a long time. Check the date printed on it.
2
Portion rather than hand over the bag
A 150 g bag is a lot of sugar in one place. Tipping a handful into a bowl and putting the bag away is the difference between a treat and the whole bag going at once.
3
Close it properly once opened
The sorbitol in the recipe keeps the rings soft, but only while the bag is shut. Fold and clip it, or decant what is left into an airtight jar.
4
Keep them cool and out of the sun
Gummies soften and stick together in heat and in direct sunlight. A cupboard rather than a windowsill or a car is the right place for them.
5
Supervise younger children
These need real chewing. For a younger child, one at a time and sitting down is sensible, and they are not appropriate for a baby or toddler at all.
6
Mind teeth, and the acid
A sour sweet is both sugary and acidic, which is harder on teeth than a sugary one alone. Having them with or after a meal rather than grazed through an afternoon, and a glass of water afterwards, is the usual advice for any sour confectionery.
What is published, and what is not
| Question | Answer for this product |
|---|---|
| Net weight | 150 g, taken from the product itself |
| Ingredients | Published by Trolli, reproduced below |
| Nutrition per 100 g | Published by Trolli, reproduced below |
| Allergen declaration | No allergen statement is published; see the bag |
| Suitable for vegetarians | No. Gelatine is the third ingredient |
| Rings per bag | Not published, and not estimated here |
Confectionery, not a children's food, and it contains gelatine. Half of it by weight is sugar. These are firm gummies that need chewing, so supervise younger children and do not give them to babies or toddlers. No allergen declaration is published for this product, so read the bag before the first one if you need to check something.
The nutrition panel, and what a bag adds up to
These are Trolli's own figures per 100 g. The per-bag column is arithmetic on the 150 g pack size and is marked as calculated, because Trolli publishes a per 100 g panel rather than a per-bag one.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g, as published | Per 150 g bag, calculated |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 1426 kJ, 335 kcal | 2139 kJ, 503 kcal |
| Fat | 0 g | 0 g |
| of which saturates | 0 g | 0 g |
| Carbohydrate | 77 g | 115.5 g |
| of which sugars | 50 g | 75 g |
| Protein | 4.6 g | 6.9 g |
| Salt | 0.2 g | 0.3 g |
Two things stand out in that panel. The first is that there is no fat at all, which is normal for a gelatine gummy and is the reason a sweet like this is lower in calories per gram than a chocolate one. The second is the protein, 4.6 g per 100 g, which is unusual in a confectionery and comes entirely from the gelatine rather than from anything nutritionally useful.
Figures are Trolli's own published panel for Apfelringe. The per-bag column is calculated from them and the 150 g pack size. Several retailer listings publish slightly different figures, 336 kcal with 79 g carbohydrate and 4.4 g protein; the manufacturer's own panel is the one reproduced here. The panel printed on the bag you receive is the one that governs.
What is in them
Contains gelatine, and no allergen declaration is published
These rings are set with gelatine, which is animal-derived, so they are not suitable on a vegetarian or vegan diet. No vegetarian or vegan claim is made for them.
Trolli publishes no allergen statement for this product, and nothing in the ingredient list appears in capital letters as an allergen. We are not going to assert an allergen position it does not state: if you need to check for a specific allergen, read the declaration printed on the bag you receive.

| Net weight | 150 g | Taken from the product itself |
| Sugars in the bag | 75 g | Calculated from 50 g per 100 g |

Frequently asked questions
Are these suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
No. Gelatine is the third ingredient and it is animal-derived. Trolli makes a separate explicitly vegan range, but these rings are not part of it and no vegetarian or vegan claim is made for them.
What makes them green?
Colouring foods rather than synthetic dyes: safflower, which is yellow, and spirulina, which is blue-green. Together they make the green, which is why the colour is a slightly muted one.
How much sugar is in a bag?
50 g of sugars per 100 g, so about 75 g in a 150 g bag. That is calculated from the published panel rather than printed per bag.
Are they suitable for a small child?
These are confectionery, not a children's food. They are firm, ring-shaped gummies that need chewing, so supervise younger children and do not give them to babies or toddlers.
Do they contain any allergens?
Trolli publishes no allergen statement for this product, and nothing in the declaration is flagged as an allergen. Rather than assert a position the manufacturer does not state, we point you at the declaration printed on the bag.
What does German market version mean?
That this is the pack sold in Germany, so the ingredient declaration and the nutrition panel are Trolli's own German ones, which are the figures reproduced on this page.
How many rings are in a bag?
Trolli does not publish a count and we do not estimate one. The bag is sold by weight, 150 g.
Why is there protein in a sweet?
The gelatine. At 4.6 g per 100 g it is unusual on a confectionery panel, and it comes entirely from the setting agent rather than from anything else in the recipe.

Written from Trolli's own published ingredient declaration and nutrition panel for Apfelringe, reproduced in the order printed, together with Trolli's note to refer to the product packaging for further details. The 150 g net weight is taken from the product itself. The per-bag nutrition column is arithmetic on the published per 100 g panel and is labelled as calculated. No ring count, portion size, allergen statement or age guidance is stated anywhere on this page, because Trolli publishes none; a third-party database entry that appeared to add a list of vitamins to this product showed signs of cross-contamination with another manufacturer's data and was not used. The previous version of this listing described the sweets in a promotional register, with several superlatives, and said nothing about the gelatine or the sugar content; that register has been removed and the declaration added.
