Company response

Dear E.
 
Thank you for your enquiry regarding our products.

We can confirm that most of our UK products contain pork gelatine, and this includes the Goldbears. We use ethanol and ethyl alcohol in our production process as carrier for the flavouring, but this constitutes less than 0.05% of the recipe and is flashed off during the process and not present in the final product. UK products will commence with the code L441 or L442 shown on the packaging.

However we do produce some products that are totally free from animal gelatine and are comprised of modified starch.

Most of our products are available at all major supermarkets and large cash & carry outlets but unfortunately we have no control over the availability of the product once it has left our premises.

You can see our treats on our website https://www.haribo.com/en-gb which includes all product details and the nutritional values of each pack.

Thank you again for your interest in our products and we hope this answers your concerns.


Kind Regards,

The HARIBO Team
