Q: Is this product the extra salty licorice? I can't tell from the label on the bag.

Yes. The label reads "7.99% salt, extra strong adult licorice, not children's licorice".

Q: Are these made without gelatin and vegetarian?

Hello AK,thank you for asking! We checked on the bag and it has an European Vegetarian Union sticker on it..and all the ingredients are plant based as far as I can decipher the small print on the back of the package. We should be good..Haribo is quite good about their ingredients. Another company which is very aware of what goes into their products is Villosa (Sallos), which also owns Katjes. Fun fact: Haribo=Hans Riegel, Bonn HaRiBoLinks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Riegelhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HariboAgain, thank you for asking!

Question 1

What are the ingredients? I have allergies to many foods

Accepted Answer

The label says (in German):

Ingredients:
• sugar
• glucose syrup
• starch
• brown sugar syrup
• aroma
• licorice extract (3%)
• table salt
• coating agent (white and yellow beeswax, carnauba wax)

Without synthetic coloring. Made in the EU. May contain traces of milk and wheat.

Per 100g (half package)
323 calories
<0.5g fat
0.1g of which saturated fat
80g carbohydrate
49g of which sugar
<0.5g protein
0.9g salt

Note, however, that the front of the package says:

7.99% salmiac [ammonium chloride]

…which is also salt (just not sodium chloride), for 8.89g of salt altogether (per 100g). The FDA daily value of salt (sodium) is 2.3g, and the full package is nearly 8x that (if you include salmiac). The reason Piratos are 7.99% salmiac is that 8% or more is regulated in the EU (because high-salmiac diets have similar effects to high-sodium diets).

FWIW gluten is a protein, not a carbohydrate, and this is nearly 50% sugar by weight, so it is not suitable for low-carbohydrate diets (such as keto).

Also note that while these are certified vegetarian by the European Vegetarian Union, the coating does include beeswax, so they’re not technically vegan, if that’s something you care about.
