A sugary, ultra-processed gummy candy — fine as an occasional treat but not a healthy snack, and it contains kiwi.
Haribo Gummibärchen is mostly glucose syrup, sugar and gelatine, classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) with a Nutri-Score D due to 46g sugar per 100g. It's not toxic or dangerous, but it's essentially concentrated sugar, and it contains kiwi, a known allergen.

Why it matters
This is a classic gummy candy: sugar, glucose syrup and gelatine make up most of the product, with small amounts of fruit juice, flavourings and natural waxes for shine. None of the ingredients are toxic at normal candy amounts. The two things that actually matter for most people are that it's a sugar-heavy, ultra-processed snack (not a health food) and that it contains kiwi, which some people are allergic to. Everything else — the flavour fruits, citric acid, beeswax and carnauba wax glaze — is used in tiny, well-established amounts with no real safety concern.
