Haribo gummy bears are cheerful and delicious and probably made with ingredients harvested by slave labor. That’s according to a German documentary, aired earlier this week, that reported that Haribo gummies are made with carnauba wax harvested by underpaid, exploited plantation workers in Brazil, many of whom are underage, and gelatin that comes from mistreated pigs. This news has caused many gummy-bear enthusiasts to start searching for substitutes for Haribo gummies — including our colleagues over at Select All who are, according to associate editor Madison Malone Kircher, “effectively powered by gummies.” https://realgoodgummies.com/traditional-gummy-bears-vs-vegan-gummy-bears
