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.

“The strawberry grows underneath the nettle,
And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best
Neighbored by fruit of baser quality.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
