Palm oil? No thank you!Palm oil plantations are spreading at the direct expense of tropical rainforests. We want to protect the rainforests. Therefore, our gummy candy is free from palm oil.

Where does the name Katjes come from?
The Katjes story began 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 buy some plant-based gummies today and say, "Kaht, yes" to fun snacking!
