Kashrut Alert - HARIBO GUMMI CANDY

December 28, 2020 from the COR Detroit with information from Paskesz; reposted on August 11, 2021 because the products may still be on the market:

HARIBO GUMMI CANDY in the general market contains animal gelatin and is not Kosher. Only special productions that state Distributed by Paskesz, with prominent Kosher marking from Rabbi O.Y. Westheim / Rabbi Shulem Landau printed on the front and back of the package, are Kosher, and are made with Kosher fish gelatin. Some packages found in Israel, and possibly other locations, have a sticker on the back stating in Hebrew “Kosher certified by Chug HaRambam of France". This product is not Kosher and the sticker is fraudulent. It was applied without Haribo's knowledge or approval.

The following kashrus alert is from a reader on November 12, 2009.

Some of the Haribo jellyfish and other Haribo products in the kosher section in Shaw's in Canton, MA are not kosher and are also made with animal gelatin. The same brand makes specials kosher runs (with fish Gelatin) and are distributed by Paskesz Candies.
Ed. note: Always look for the kosher symbol.
