Haribo Goldbears (GOLDBÄREN) fruit gummies

Haribo is one of the most iconic confectionery brands in the world, famous for creating the first gummy bear in 1922. The brand was founded in Bonn, Germany, by Hans Riegel Sr., and its name is an acronym derived from HAns RIegel BOnn.

Today, Haribo remains a family-owned business, headquartered in Grafschaft, Germany (having moved from Bonn in 2018). While the product shown is labeled for the German market (Haribo GmbH & Co. KG), Haribo operates 16 production sites across ten countries globally, including Germany, France, the UK, and the USA. Many Haribo products sold in the EU are manufactured within the European Union (EU) or specifically in Germany.
