Black Forest® Gummies Go Fully Organic

Black Forest Organic Gummy Bears and new Organic Gummy Forest Friends^™, featuring the irresistible taste fans have always loved, are now available at retailers nationwide

CHICAGO, March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Forest^®, the beloved candy and snack brand, today announced that its entire everyday gummy candy lineup is now USDA Certified Organic. The new all-organic gummy portfolio, now available nationwide, marks the brand's biggest step yet by offering health-conscious consumers a delicious gummy candy with high-quality, real organic ingredients that taste great.

Every Black Forest gummy is made with no artificial colors and flavors from real sources. No second-guessing needed; just a joyfully fruitful and deliciously sweet gummy experience that you can feel good about.

The Gummy Bear Gets an Organic Glow-Up
Black Forest Organic Gummies have been reimagined from the inside out. The gummies are Certified Gluten Free and fat-free, crafted to deliver the signature soft, chewy, deeply fruity bite that Black Forest fans already love. Fresh new packaging brings the brand's natural roots to life on-shelf, alongside classic flavors: cherry, apple, lemon, orange, pineapple, and strawberry.

Meet the Newest Residents of the BLACK FOREST: Organic Gummy Forest Friends^™
The all-organic relaunch also marks the debut of Black Forest Organic Gummy Forest Friends^™. With five new nature-inspired, playful shapes — an owl, rabbit, bear, fox, and squirrel — Gummy Forest Friends carry the same USDA Certified Organic credentials as the Gummy Bears along with an incredible soft chew and fruity taste. The shapes are paired with six new delicious fruit flavors: watermelon, grape, mango, raspberry, peach, and cherry.

Gummy Forest Friends give candy lovers yet another reason to reach for the bag, whether you're looking for a sweet treat you can feel good about or something fun to share with friends and family.

"Consumers are increasingly looking for organic candy that doesn't sacrifice great taste and delicious flavor. With our new all-organic gummy lineup, we've made that possible," said Ridhi Barber, Brand Marketing Director, Black Forest. "Organic Gummy Bears and the all-new Gummy Forest Friends are proof that high-quality, organic ingredients can go hand-in-hand with the soft, chewy, fruity gummy experience our fans love."
