"Backed by the votes of over 40,000 everyday consumers, the distinctive Product of the Year logo helps shoppers identify the best new products in the supermarket, and saves them valuable time and money during the shopping experience," said Mike Nolan, CEO of Product of the Year. "In an increasingly competitive and saturated marketplace, the Product of the Year seal of approval gives our winning products a powerful tool proven to increase product trial, consumer awareness, distribution and sales." Additionally, real plant sources such as black carrot juice, beta-carotene, spirulina extract and turmeric create the gummies' beloved bright colors, and that's something to feel good about! This included a significant change in appearance with improved brightness and clarity to the shape, as well as a unique characteristic with a tree stamped on the belly of each bear. Black Forest Classic Gummy Bears are made and flavored with carefully selected ingredients, including apple juice, and occasionally rely on other natural and artificial flavors to deliver a bolder taste. Last summer, Ferrara Candy Company reformulated the Black Forest Classic Gummy Bears to make a cute and great tasting gummy bear. We are on a mission to create delicious treats that consumers can enjoy eating, and we're thrilled that the quality ingredients and delicious fruity flavors of these award-winning gummies resonated with consumers across the nation."
