Are Katjes Gummies Vegan?

Most gummy candies get their chewy texture from gelatin that is derived from cows or pigs. Katjes gummy candy does not contain any animal gelatin but vegan ingredients instead, making them a super delicious choice if you're vegan*, vegetarian*, flexitarian* or on a restriction diet*.

*Contains wheat derived ingredients. Made on equipment that also processes products containing milk and coconut.

Say yes to vegan & beyond!

Our Story

Katjes is third-generation family owned and proud to be the world’s #1 vegan gummy brand. In 2021 we launched our gummies in the USA, but our story began way back in the 50s when young Klaus Fassin made licorice cats from an age-old family recipe. He called them Katjes, the Dutch word for kittens, because he thought it was good luck. That name and Klaus's spirit of ingenuity and optimism have stayed with us all these years! In German, our brand is pronounced "Kaht yes" - so try our vegan gummies today and say, "Kaht, yes" to sweet snacking!

Mindful. Vegan. Candy.

We believe every life is precious. At Katjes, we indulge our sweet tooth while paying attention to the way our choices impact the people, animals and environment around us. Being conscious about our planet and sustainability minded is at the core of our Katjes values, from our efforts in optimizing our energy consumption to supporting equal opportunities within our family-owned company to making candy without gelatin from animals. And we keep all this in mind while crafting gummy candy that tastes like sweet and sour happiness!
