Haribo Zachte Drop

Haribo is one of the most iconic confectionery brands globally, recognized primarily for its invention of the gummy bear. The brand originated in Bonn, Germany, founded by Hans Riegel Sr. The name itself is an acronym for the founder and the city: HAns RIegel BOnn. This specific product is part of their licorice (drop) line, which is highly popular in Northern European markets like the Netherlands and Belgium, evidenced by the Dutch and French labeling on the packaging.

Today, Haribo remains a family-owned enterprise, managed by the Riegel family. The company operates numerous production facilities across Europe, though its spiritual and corporate home remains in Germany. Their manufacturing processes are distributed across several countries to meet local demand efficiently, while maintaining the strict quality standards established by the original German recipes.
