Haribo Supermix. What They Contain - Converted For Kids

Each Haribo Supermix sweet weighs approximately 2.4g and contains 1.1g of free sugar, the same as Starmix. Ten sweets contain 11g of free sugar, which is 58% of the daily limit for a child aged 4 to 6 and 46% for a child aged 7 to 10. A full 160g bag contains approximately 67 sweets and 73.7g of free sugar, more than double the adult NHS daily limit of 30g.

Per sweet: 1.1g free sugar, 8 kcal, less than 0.01g salt, 2.4g weight. Per 5 sweets: 5.5g free sugar, 40 kcal. Per 10 sweets: 11g free sugar, 80 kcal. Per 20 sweets: 22g free sugar, 160 kcal. Per full 160g bag: 73.7g free sugar, 536 kcal. All sugar counts as free sugar under NHS guidelines.

No. The per-sweet sugar, calorie and salt figures for Haribo Supermix are identical to Starmix. Both contain 1.1g of free sugar and 8 calories per sweet. Both deliver 73.7g of free sugar per 160g bag. The difference between Supermix and Starmix is the specific mix of shapes included in each bag, not the nutritional content. Both are made from the same gummy base of glucose syrup, sugar and gelatine.

Haribo Supermix contains a selection of Haribo's most popular shapes including gummy bears, cola bottles, hearts, rings and foam sweets. The exact combination can vary slightly between bags. From a nutritional perspective, the variety of shapes makes no difference. All of the sweet types in Supermix share the same per-weight sugar, calorie and salt profile because they are all made from the same base recipe.

The NHS recommends no more than 19g of free sugar per day for children aged 4 to 6, 24g for children aged 7 to 10, and 30g for anyone aged 11 and over. These limits apply only to free sugars and do not include sugars naturally present in whole fruit, vegetables or milk. Every gram of sugar in Haribo Supermix counts as free sugar.

A child aged 4 to 6 with a daily free sugar limit of 19g would reach their entire daily limit at approximately 17 sweets. A child aged 7 to 10 with a limit of 24g would reach their limit at approximately 22 sweets. These figures assume no other free sugar has been consumed during the day, which is rarely the case as children typically consume free sugar from cereals, drinks and other snacks throughout the day.

Each Haribo Supermix sweet contains approximately 8 calories. Five sweets contain 40 calories, ten sweets contain 80 calories, twenty sweets contain 160 calories and a full 160g bag contains approximately 536 calories. For a child aged 4 to 6 with a daily energy need of around 1,400 calories, a full bag represents 38% of their daily requirement.

Salt content in Haribo Supermix is negligible, less than 0.01g per sweet. A full 160g bag contains a trivial amount of salt, well within NHS daily limits for all age groups. The NHS recommends a maximum of 3g per day for children aged 4 to 6 and 5g for ages 7 to 10. Salt is not a nutritional concern with this product. Free sugar content is the primary consideration.

The main ingredients in Haribo Supermix are glucose syrup, sugar, gelatine, dextrose and fruit and plant concentrates for colouring and flavouring. Both the gummy sweets and foam sweets use the same base recipe. The glucose syrup and sugar are both free sugars under NHS guidelines. Gelatine means the product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

No. Haribo Supermix contains gelatine, which is derived from animal collagen. The product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. This applies to both the gummy and foam sweet types included in the bag. Haribo produces some vegetarian-friendly sweets under separate product lines, but standard Supermix is not among them. Always check the current packaging for the most up-to-date ingredient information.

Haribo Supermix is made from glucose syrup, sugar and gelatine. There is no whole fruit content and no fibre in any of the sweet types included in the bag. Under NHS guidelines, free sugars include all added sugars. Glucose syrup and added sugar both count in full. Unlike whole fruit where sugar is contained within plant cell walls, gummy and foam sweets have no fibre to slow sugar absorption into the bloodstream.

A full 160g bag of Haribo Supermix contains approximately 73.7g of free sugar across around 67 sweets. This is more than double the adult NHS daily limit of 30g and more than three times the daily limit for a child aged 4 to 6 (19g), all in a single bag. The figure is identical to a full bag of Starmix as both share the same per-sweet sugar content.

Haribo Supermix contains gelatine derived from pork. The product does not contain the 14 major allergens listed under UK food law, including no gluten, nuts, dairy, eggs or soya, but it is produced in facilities that may handle these ingredients. Always check the current packaging for the most up-to-date allergen information as formulations can change.

Free sugars are all sugars added to food or drink during manufacturing, cooking or at the table, plus sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juice and smoothies. They do not include sugars naturally present in whole fruit, vegetables or milk. UK food labels show total sugar rather than free sugar, making it difficult to apply NHS daily limits directly from the packet. For Haribo Supermix, total sugar and free sugar are effectively the same figure as the product contains no whole fruit or milk.

Haribo Supermix contains 1.1g of free sugar per sweet compared to 1.4g in Tangfastics. Ten Supermix sweets deliver 11g of free sugar versus 14g from ten Tangfastics. The higher sugar content in Tangfastics comes from the citric acid and sugar sour coating, which Supermix does not have. A full 160g bag of Supermix contains 73.7g of free sugar versus 93.8g in a bag of Tangfastics.
