Wedderspoon intros Manuka Honey Immunity Gummies

Wedderspoon is diving into brand new territory.

The company, which has dabbled in the world of skin care, is launching a line of Manuka Honey Immunity Gummies.

Created without the use of cane sugar, corn syrup, glucose or artificial sweeteners, the gummies are available in two options — berry and citrus.

Berry features 100% of RDI for vitamin C and five billion CFU of DE111 probiotic per a three-gummy serving, while the citrus option has 100% RDI of vitamin C, selenium and zinc also per a three gummy serving, the company said.

“Gummies are an increasingly-popular format for consumers to take their daily supplements, but most of the best-selling brands in the category use cane sugar or corn syrup as one or two of the first ingredients. Wedderspoon believes that Manuka Honey and whole fruit are a perfect complement to one another to provide vitamins, minerals and nutrients for immune support - no cane sugar or corn syrup necessary,” Rebecca Remley, CEO of Wedderspoon said. “It took almost a year to develop these Manuka Honey Immunity Gummies but we’re proud to be the first gummies supplement to have only fruit and authentic Manuka honey as the first ingredients.”

In addition, the gummies are crafted with such ingredients as apples, raspberries, kiwi puree and manuka honey, the company said.

Available in BPA-free, recyclable plastic bottles, Wedderspoon’s Immunity Gummies will hit such retailers as Whole Foods Market, Wegmans, Publix, Sprouts, CVS Pharmacy, Natural Grocers and Amazon throughout 2020.
