Haribo Brings Single-Color Gummies to Dollar Tree Ahead of Its 2027 Switch to Non-Artificial Colors

Five new Haribo gummies, each with one non-artificial color, are headed first to Dollar Tree. Haribo USA has committed to non-artificial colors across its line by the end of 2027.

Haribo is releasing five single-flavor gummies, each built around one fruit flavor, one animal shape and one non-artificial color, Candy Industry reported on Nov. 3. The bags are available first at Dollar Tree, where Sporked reported they would go on sale Nov. 1. The line arrives as Haribo works toward its own deadline: moving all of its U.S. colors to non-artificial sources by the end of 2027.

TLDR

  • The five bags are Straw-Fairies, Blue Raspberr-Bees, Dragon’s-Fruit, Fla-Mangos and Pear-akeets, according to Candy Industry.
  • Each product includes one non-artificial color, Candy Industry reported on Nov. 3.
  • Sporked reported in September that the bags would be sold only at Dollar Tree starting Nov. 1.
  • Haribo USA says it will move all colors to non-artificial by the end of 2027 and will not use carmine as a replacement.

The Lineup

Each bag holds one flavor in one shape, Candy Industry reported. Straw-Fairies are red, fairy-shaped strawberry gummies. Blue Raspberr-Bees are bright blue and bee-shaped. Dragon’s-Fruit are hot pink dragons with a dragon fruit punch flavor. Fla-Mangos are orange mango flamingos, and Pear-akeets are green pear-flavored birds.

Candy Industry said the bags will be available first at Dollar Tree. Sporked described them as Dollar Tree exclusives. Neither outlet reported a price, a bag size, a date for wider distribution or the colorants used.

The 2027 Commitment

Haribo USA states on its website that it is committed to transitioning all colors to non-artificial by the end of 2027. It also commits not to use carmine as a replacement. Carmine is a red color made from cochineal insects.

The Dollar Tree bags arrive more than a year before that deadline, with one non-artificial color per bag.

Why It Matters

Haribo appears on Candy Industry’s list of the Global Top 100 Candy Companies. A dated U.S. deadline, a pledge to skip carmine and five single-color bags headed first to a national discount chain give retailers and shoppers something concrete to track before 2027.
