Katjes Martin Rütter Hundjes fruit gummies

Katjes Martin Rütter Hundjes is a popular vegetarian fruit gummy product from Katjes, a prominent German confectionery manufacturer. These gummies are part of a celebrity collaboration with Martin Rütter, a well-known German dog trainer, featuring dog-shaped candies made without animal gelatin. This aligns with Katjes' strong commitment to vegetarian and vegan candy production, a transition they began in 2010.

The brand has a rich history dating back to 1950, when Xaver Fassin developed a licorice recipe in the shape of a small cat, leading to the name 'Katjes' (Dutch for 'little cats'). To this day, the company remains a family-owned enterprise based in Emmerich am Rhein, Germany. Katjes has positioned itself as a pioneer in sustainable and ethical sweets, removing animal-based gelatin from its entire range and focusing on climate-neutral production processes at its German facilities.
