Emirates Snack Foods is proud to introduce Katjes, the world-renowned vegan fruit gums and licorice brand from Germany to the UAE. A pioneer in plant-based confectionery, Katjes is globally recognized for its commitment to quality, natural ingredients, and inclusive sweet treats that appeal to modern consumers.

Katjes has built its reputation around being “100% veggie.” All Katjes fruit gummies and licorice are completely free from animal-derived gelatin, using plant-based pectin instead. This makes the range an ideal choice for vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians, and consumers seeking cleaner, better-for-you indulgences without compromise on taste or texture.

Beyond being gelatin-free, Katjes products are made with natural fruit juices, plant-based colorings, and contain no artificial flavors. This long-standing commitment to transparency and ingredient integrity has positioned Katjes as a trusted leader in the global plant-based confectionery category.

By bringing Katjes to the UAE, Emirates Snack Foods strengthens its portfolio of globally recognized, on-trend food brands, responding to growing demand for vegan sweets and plant-based confectionery in the region. The addition reflects ESF’s mission to offer high-quality products that align with evolving dietary preferences, conscious consumption, and lifestyle-driven food choices.

We invite retailers, supermarkets, and foodservice partners to discover Katjes — a vibrant, inclusive, and high-demand confectionery range that stands out on shelf and delivers strong appeal across diverse consumer segments.
