Ricola Original Herb Lozenges (Sugar-Free)

Ricola is a world-renowned Swiss brand famous for its herbal drops and lozenges. The product shown is the 'Original Herb' (Original Kräuter) flavor, which is a sugar-free variant crafted from a traditional blend of 13 Swiss mountain herbs including speedwell, lady's mantle, cowslip, and mallow.

The history of the brand dates back to 1930 in Laufen, Switzerland, where master baker Emil Richterich established a confectionery business. By 1940, he had perfected the unique herbal blend that continues to be the foundation of their recipe today.

Unlike many global snack brands that have been acquired by larger conglomerates, Ricola remains a family-owned enterprise. The manufacturing process is centralized in Switzerland to maintain strict quality standards and authentic herb sourcing from the Swiss Alps. In markets like Singapore, these products are commonly imported and distributed through local retail partners, but the ultimate ownership and production remain firmly rooted in its country of origin.
