Rips is a brand of flavored licorice candies that was created by The Foreign Candy Company, Inc. The same company that invented Black Forest gummy bears, now owned by the Ferrara Candy Company (the American subsidiary of Ferrero Group).
Rips are similar to other sour gummy candies that come in a rope or belt form. The most popular products we could find in stores around the United States are called Rips Bites or Rips Bite Size Pieces. They’re commonly found in gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and specialty candy shops.
Let’s find out if these popular gummy candies are free from wheat and gluten ingredients . . .
Are Rips Candy Products Gluten Free?
NO
No, unfortunately all Rips candy products contain wheat as a core ingredient, so none of their products are gluten free.
