Yes, certain types of chewy candies like gummy bears, marshmallows, and jelly beans may contain gelatin. Gelatin, which is derived from animal collagen, is used as a gelling agent to give these candies their chewy texture and shape.
However, not all candies contain gelatin. Many chocolate candies, hard candies, sour candies, and candy bars are generally gelatin-free. Some brands offer vegan alternatives to gelatin, such as vegetarian marshmallows or vegan jelly beans made from plant-based ingredients.
When choosing candies, it's helpful to check the ingredient labels carefully to ensure they meet your dietary preferences or restrictions, such as being vegetarian or vegan.
