Brand

Katjes

New York, NY

Katjes is a natural products brand from New York, NY with 4 products on Beacon Discovery, mostly shelf stable candy. 2 are Certified Vegan, and its range is distributed by UNFI, KeHE and Other.

Katjes is third-generation family owned and proud to be the world's #1 plant based gummy brand. In 2021 Katjes launched in the USA, but the story began way back in the 50s when founder Klaus Fassin made licorice cats from an age-old family recipe. He called them Katjes, the Dutch word for kittens, because he thought it was good luck. That name and Klaus's spirit of ingenuity have stayed with the brand all these years! In German, our brand is pronounced "Kaht yes" - so say "Kaht, yes" to plant-based snacking!
