Yupo Fruit Gummy Bears

Ulker Yupo Ayicik are fruit-flavored gummy bears from Türkiye. While gummy bears were first invented in Germany in the 20th century, there are several similar Turkish confections including other fruity chews, hard candies, and fruit-flavored lollipops. That being said, the Turkish people still love their gummy bears. In fact, the German candy company, Haribo, has a large factory in the Turkish city of Izmir, which produces exclusively halal products, including halal gummy bears, which are made with beef-derived gelatin rather than pork. In fact, almost all candy made in Türkiye is guaranteed to be halal-certified, including these gummy bears. Turkish gummies don’t come in the typical flavors of European and American candy— instead they feature an exciting variety of flavors including pomegranate, mulberry, apricot, and sour cherry.
