★ No Artificial Dyes Gummy Bears ★
USA Gummies are colored with fruit and vegetable extracts for a classic gummy bear look — without artificial dyes or synthetic colors. All natural flavors, made in the USA.
★ A Public Service Announcement ★
Flip over most gummy bears on the shelf and you’ll find the same short list of synthetic dyes — colors made from petroleum, not food. They won’t put that on the front of the bag, so we’ll put it here:
Made from: Petroleum
A synthetic azo dye — the most-used food coloring in America.
Made from: Petroleum
Europe requires a warning on foods that use it: “may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children.”
Made from: Petroleum
A synthetic azo dye that carries that same European warning.
Made from: Petroleum
A synthetic dye used across candy, drinks, and snacks.
Made from: Petroleum + iodine
The FDA revoked its approval for use in food in January 2025.
★ And Why We Never Will ★
Dye-free from our very first batch — while the big brands scramble to pull Red 40, we never put it in. Our five colors come from real fruit and vegetable juice. It costs more and it’s harder to make, but candy you can hand your kids without second-guessing is worth it. We never have, and we never will.
★ The Standard ★
No FD&C Red No. 40 or other certified synthetic colors anywhere in the bag.
Colors come from fruit and vegetable extracts, spirulina, and curcumin.
All natural flavors with a clean, classic gummy bear chew.
Free shipping on 5 bags or more.
★ No Red 40 ★
No Red 40, no Yellow 5, no Yellow 6, no Blue 1 — the four dyes other gummies lean on, and we leave out. Just real fruit color, made in the U.S.A.
★ Scientific Context ★
FDA notes that certified colors are synthetic and require batch certification before use.
FDA describes exempt colors as pigments from sources like vegetables, minerals, or animals, and they still require FDA approval.
FDA reports that most children show no adverse effects from color additives, but some evidence suggests sensitivity in certain children and the agency continues to evaluate new science.
★ Reading the Label ★
★ Regulatory References ★
FDA requires certified color additives to be listed by name on food labels (for example, FD&C Red No. 40 or Red 40).
FD&C Red No. 40 is listed in 21 CFR 74.340, may be used for coloring foods consistent with good manufacturing practice, and batches must be certified under 21 CFR Part 80.
UK guidance requires warning labels for foods containing certain colors, including Allura Red (E129), indicating they may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children.
