Frequently asked questions

What is unique about Swedish candy (Godis)?

Swedish candy, or godis, is a world-renowned category of confectionery celebrated for its exceptional variety, distinct textures, and intensely bold flavors. At the heart of this culture is Lösgodis (pick-and-mix), where hundreds of different candies are selected by weight. Swedish flavors frequently explore an exciting blend of sweet, sour, and intensely salty licorice (salmiak), setting it apart from candy found elsewhere. This weekly tradition is so important it has its own name: Lördagsgodis (Saturday Candy).

What are the most popular Swedish candy types?

The most sought-after categories of Swedish candy, all available at NordicBangers.com, include:

  • Gummy & Foam Candies: Known for their soft, airy, and bouncy chew, often made with starch instead of gelatin, making many varieties naturally vegan-friendly (like the popular BUBS brand).
  • Salty Licorice (Salmiak): A quintessential Scandinavian treat, ranging from mild to extremely strong, such as Djungelvrål (Jungle Roar). This is a must-try for the adventurous palate!
  • Chocolate: Creamy milk chocolate brands like Marabou are national staples—rich, smooth, and incredibly satisfying.
  • Sour Candies: Swedish sour candy is famous for its powerful and long-lasting tartness.
What are the must-try Swedish candy brands and their most popular products?

The Swedish candy market is dominated by quality brands that offer unique and iconic sweets—and we stock them all!

  • BUBS: The modern champion, famous for their unique, often two-toned, foam and gummy sweets. Their most iconic product is the BUBS Sour Skull, a top-rated piece in any lösgodis mix.
  • Cloetta: A major confectionery group behind classics like Ahlgrens Bilar (Sweden’s best-selling car-shaped marshmallow-esque candy) and Gott & Blandat (a classic mixed bag of sweet and salty gummies).
  • Malaco: A classic brand known for various licorice and jelly sweets, including the famous Brio and Zoo lines.
Is Swedish candy vegan or vegetarian (gelatin-free)?

 The fantastic news is that a significant and growing portion of Swedish candy is vegan and gelatin-free!

  • Gelatin-Free: Many popular Swedish gummies and foam candies are traditionally made with potato starch and other plant-based thickeners, not animal gelatin.
  • Leading Vegan Brands: BUBS is the most famous example, with most of their product line being 100% vegan. Other brands like Candy People and some lines from Fazer offer many vegan options as well.
  • Our Promise: While the options are abundant, not all Swedish candy is gelatin-free. Always shop our dedicated vegan section at NordicBangers.com for peace of mind!
Is Swedish candy Halal or Kosher?

 Halal or Kosher certification is less common than simple gelatin-free status.

  • Best Practice: Look for products that are certified 100% Vegan, as this guarantees the absence of animal-derived ingredients like pork or beef gelatin, making them the most likely to be suitable.
  • Shop Smart: NordicBangers.com clearly marks all candies with their dietary status, allowing you to choose compliant options with confidence.
Is Swedish candy gluten-free?

Yes! Many Swedish candies are naturally gluten-free, especially most fruit-flavored gummy, licorice (which is often starch-based), and hard candy varieties. However, certain caramels, toffees, and some chocolate products may contain gluten. We recommend shopping our clearly marked gluten-free collection on NordicBangers.com.

Is Swedish Fish an authentic Swedish candy?

Yes and No. The candy was originally developed by Swedish company Malaco for the U.S. market. It's based on a fish-shaped candy found in Swedish lösgodis. While the concept is Swedish, the "Swedish Fish" brand is primarily an American staple, and its flavor profile is often slightly different from the generic fish shapes found in Sweden.
