Gummies
332 gummy candies in bulk — the deepest selections coming from Albanese, Vidal, Haribo, Gustaf's and our own Giant Gummy Bear line. Most are sold in roughly 1 lb and 4–5 lb resealable bags, starting around $6.49.
Gummi bears, worms, rings, cola bottles, fried eggs, sour dots, turtles, missing body parts, and a gummy bear big enough to need its own chair. Vegan and gelatin-free options are here too.

Sizes and bulk pricing
Each brand uses its own size tiers, which is worth knowing before you compare prices — a "1.1 lb" Vidal bag and a "1 lb" Albanese bag aren't quite the same thing.
| Brand | Small bag | Large bag | Per-pound saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Albanese | 1 lb, from $6.49 | 4.5–5 lb, from $26.99 | ~8% |
| Vidal | 1.1 lb, from $7.99 | 2.2 lb $15.49 or 4.4 lb $29.99 | ~3% at 2.2 lb, ~6% at 4.4 lb |
| Gustaf's / Gerrit Verburg | 1.1 lb, $8.49–$8.99 | 4.4 lb $34.99–$36.99, some 6.6 lb $48.99 | varies — roughly 0–9% |
Be aware: the bulk discount on gummies is modest — typically under 10% per pound at the largest tier, and on a few items there's no saving at all. Buy the big bag because you want the volume, not because you're expecting a dramatic price break. It's worth checking the per-pound math on the specific item you're after. The exception is Nerds Gummy Clusters, which offers a 30 lb case at $314.99 for genuine wholesale-scale buying.

Gelatin, pectin and vegan gummies
This is the question we get asked most, so here's the honest answer: most gummies in this collection are gelatin-based, which means they are not vegetarian or vegan. But there are real exceptions, and they're easy to identify.
Gelatin-based (not vegetarian)
Albanese Gummi Bears and Gummi Rings (gelatin plus pectin), Vidal's Big Gummi Cola Bottles and Gummi Turtles, and Nerds Gummy Clusters.
Gelatin-free
Swedish Fish are starch-based — sugar, corn syrup and modified corn starch, no gelatin. Gustaf's Sour Dots are also starch-based, though they contain wheat, so they're gelatin-free but not gluten-free.
Certified vegan
A handful of products in this collection are listed as vegan, and they're all Scandinavian imports: the BUBS Godis Skalle and Goody lines from Sweden, and VEGOBEARS Malibu Mix and Santa Monica Mix, which are also certified organic. Browse European candy for more from these makers.
Ingredient statements are on every product page. If gelatin matters to you, read the panel for the specific item — it's the only reliable source.
Kosher and allergens
A small number of items in this collection carry kosher certification, and every one of them is Pareve — mostly Jelly Belly, plus Boston Fruit Slices, Sour Punch, Sweet's and Dots. There are no certified Dairy gummies here. The remaining items are not certified, so please don't assume — check the product page. For the full certified range, see kosher candy.
Allergen tagging is sparse across gummies, so the ingredient statement on each product page is your best source. Notable cases: Gustaf's Sour Dots contain wheat, and a few Haribo items contain coconut.
Frequently asked questions
Are gummy bears vegetarian?
Most are not. Standard gummy bears — including Albanese and Haribo — use gelatin, which is animal-derived. For vegetarian and vegan options, look for the BUBS Godis and VEGOBEARS products in this collection, or choose starch-based candies like Swedish Fish.
Which gummies here are gluten free?
A few products are listed as gluten-free, including Cosmic Gummi Rings and Albanese True to Fruit. Note that Gustaf's Sour Dots contain wheat despite being gelatin-free. Because this labelling is incomplete across the collection, check the ingredient statement on the product page for the item you want.
What's the difference between Albanese, Vidal and Haribo?
Albanese is American, known for intense fruit flavor and a softer bite — their 12-flavor gummi bears are the reference point for a lot of people. Vidal is Spanish and dominates the novelty shapes: cola bottles, fried eggs, turtles. Haribo is German, the original gummy bear company, with a firmer, chewier texture. Gustaf's, made in the Netherlands, is the one to try if you want proper Dutch sour dots or licorice.
How much should I buy for a party?
For a candy buffet, plan roughly ¼ pound per guest across all varieties. Gummies are best used as one or two of six-plus options rather than the whole table — they're rich and guests take fewer than you'd think.
Do gummies melt in shipping?
Gummies hold up better than chocolate, but in real heat they'll soften and stick together in the bag. They firm back up as they cool, though the shapes may fuse. For summer orders to hot climates, adding ice packs ($2.00) is worth it.
How should I store gummy candy?
Keep the bag sealed, at room temperature, out of direct sun. Air is what turns gummies hard and sugary at the edges. Almost everything here ships in a resealable bag for exactly that reason.
