Sour Patch has long been well known in Germany. Unfortunately, the Sour Patch available in German grocery stores is not vegan. This is in stark contrast to Sour Patch Kids vegan in the USA. There, animal gelatin is not used in the production process and the product is vegan. You can order it here.

The spiral-shaped fruit gums are similar in consistency to licorice. These vegan sweets are made by the Hershey Company and are available in strawberry, watermelon, orange, grape, and blackberry flavors. You can order vegan Twizzlers here. 

3. Swedish Fish

Swedish Fish actually come from Sweden. However, we are listing them here because they are among the most popular vegan gummy bears in the USA.
