The short answer

Gummies set with pectin instead of gelatin are gelatin-free, because pectin is a plant-based gelling agent from fruit. Nordic Pectin’s Classic, Zero and Fiber systems are all pectin systems. Whether a finished product can be labelled “vegan” depends on every ingredient and coating, and on your market’s rules.

Why brands choose pectin

Pectin gives a short, clean bite and suits plant-based positioning. All three Nordic Pectin systems — Classic, Zero and Fiber — use plant pectin. Gelatin is offered separately and is clearly labelled as animal-derived.

A vegan label applies to the finished product. Check colours, flavours and finishes — for example the wax and any coating — and confirm with your labelling team and any certifier you use.

Questions buyers ask

Are your pectin systems gelatin-free?

Yes. Classic, Zero and Fiber are set with pectin. Gelatin bases are a separate product line.

Are your gummies certified vegan?

We do not claim a vegan certification. Ask for specifications and confirm the status of your finished product.
