Gelatin-free candy is candy made without gelatin, a thickening and gelling agent derived from animal collagen, typically from pork or beef. Gelatin is often used to create a chewy, gummy texture in candies like marshmallows, gummy bears, and jelly candies. Gelatin-free candies are popular among vegetarians, vegans, and people with dietary restrictions against consuming animal products. Some examples of popular gelatin-free candy include Sour Patch Kids, Swedish Fish, Skittles, Dots, and many hard candies like Jolly Ranchers.
