Vegan Swedish Candy: What to Try
A surprising amount of Swedish candy is vegan, starting with BUBS. Here is what vegan Swedish candy to try and how to spot it.
The easiest vegan Swedish candy is BUBS, whose entire range is vegan and gelatin free, using starch foam instead of animal gelatin. Many Swedish gummies and licorices are vegan friendly too, though some contain beeswax or gelatin, so check the pack. For a guaranteed vegan bag, build it around BUBS.
BUBS: the easy vegan yes
Every BUBS product is vegan and gelatin free, including the famous sour skulls.
What else is vegan
Many fruit gums and licorices are vegan, but check for gelatin and beeswax. Even Swedish Fish are often vegan-ish, with a wax caveat.

He has spent years tasting his way across Scandinavian candy, and now curates the range at TheSweetsTruck, from BUBS sour skulls to the saltiest licorice most people cannot finish.
