Ferrara announced on March 18, 2026 that the entire everyday Black Forest gummy lineup is now USDA Certified Organic. (prnewswire.com) The company says the reformulated gummies contain no artificial colors or flavors, are Certified Gluten Free and fat‑free, and the brand’s FAQ lists the organic gummies as certified non‑GMO. (prnewswire.com) The relaunch retains six classic flavors—cherry, apple, lemon, orange, pineapple and strawberry—and introduces Black Forest Organic Gummy Forest Friends in five nature‑inspired shapes (owl, rabbit, bear, fox and squirrel). (prnewswire.com) Ferrara says the all‑organic gummy portfolio is now available nationwide and ships with refreshed on‑shelf packaging that emphasizes the brand’s “natural roots.” (ferrara.com) Ridhi Barber, Black Forest brand marketing director at Ferrara, framed the change as the brand’s “biggest step yet” to offer “high‑quality, real organic ingredients” in the company’s March press release. (vendingconnection.com) Trade coverage highlighted that Ferrara converted the entire everyday lineup instead of launching a separate organic variant, marking a portfolio‑wide conversion rather than a single new SKU.
