Red Band Zombie Smile Dropfruit candy

Red Band is a classic confectionery brand originally established in Roosendaal, Netherlands, in 1928. It is renowned for its wide variety of gummies, licorice, and fruit-flavored candies. The 'Zombie Smile' product shown is a part of their dropfruit range, combining the salty-sweet taste of licorice (drop) with fruit flavors.

While the brand has strong Dutch roots and remains a staple in the Benelux and German markets, its ownership has evolved through several mergers. Today, Red Band is part of the Cloetta group, a leading Nordic confectionery company. Production primarily takes place in specialized facilities in the Netherlands to maintain the original 'Hollandse' quality advertised on the packaging, adhering to traditional recipes that have made the brand a household name for nearly a century.
