– Viral video: Many shocked to learn the horrifying way Gummy Bears are made:
Did you know that gummy bears, one of America’s most popular junk food candies, are made in part from gelatin? Though a common ingredient in food, gelatin may not be what you think it is.
A colorless, odorless and tasteless substance, gelatin is found in many candies, including candy corn, trifles, gelatin desserts and items such as gummy bears, peeps, jelly babies, fruit snacks, marshmallows, ice cream and yogurt, according to New Health Advisor.
