Haribo Jelly Beans

Haribo is one of the most iconic confectionery brands in the world, renowned for founding the gummy bear category. This specific product, Haribo Jelly Beans, is part of their diverse candy portfolio. The brand was founded in 1920 by Hans Riegel in Bonn, Germany (the name is an acronym for Hans Riegel Bonn).

While Haribo's headquarters and primary manufacturing roots remain in Germany, the company has expanded its production footprint globally to meet international demand. Today, Haribo operates numerous production facilities across Europe—including the United Kingdom, France, and Turkey—and has recently expanded manufacturing into North America. The specific bag shown features the 'Veggie' and 'Vegan' certification labels, reflecting the brand's adaptation to modern dietary preferences by using plant-based ingredients instead of animal-derived gelatin for certain product lines.

Haribo remains a private, family-owned business, maintaining its independence for over a century. The ultimate ownership continues to reside with the Riegel family through Haribo Holding GmbH & Co. KG. This structure has allowed the brand to maintain its core values and consistent quality while growing into a global leader in the sweets and snacks industry.
