Swedish berries are red (and occasionally blue and green) berry-shaped soft chewy candy which is manufactured by candy company Maynards. The name Swedish Berries is trademarked by Vanderlei Candy, a division of Cadbury Canada. Their ingredients include sugar, glucose syrup, modified corn starch, citric acid, artificial flavours, mineral oil, carnauba wax, colour, and concentrated pear juice.
Swedish Berries are similar in taste and consistency to Swedish Fish, another Maynards product.
Production of Swedish Berries has been discontinued in the U.S. It is possible to purchase Maynards Swedish Berries in Canada.
Famous quotes containing the word berries:
“It is true, there are the innocent pleasures of country life, and it is sometimes pleasant to make the earth yield her increase, and gather the fruits in their season; but the heroic spirit will not fail to dream of remoter retirements and more rugged paths. It will have its garden-plots and its parterres elsewhere than on the earth, and gather nuts and berries by the way for its subsistence, or orchard fruits with such heedlessness as berries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
