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:
“After a pause at Ball’s Hill, the St. Anne’s of Concord voyageurs, not to say any prayer for the success of our voyage, but to gather the few berries which were still left on the hills, hanging by very slender threads, we weighed anchor again, and were soon out of sight of our native village. The land seemed to grow fairer as we withdrew from it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
