How to Use
Let one candy dissolve slowly in the mouth whenever you want a mild herbal sweet; the tin is handy at a desk, in the car, or in a travel bag. Ricola suggests enjoying the candy as part of a varied and balanced diet. Keep the tin closed between uses and store it protected from heat and moisture so the candies stay dry and do not stick together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ricola Kräuterzucker contain allergens?
Ricola Original Kräuterzucker is labeled vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free, and it carries Kosher and Halal certification, so it contains no milk, egg, or wheat ingredients. It is a sugar-based herbal candy, not a sugar-free product. Because Swiss recipes and facility notices can change between production runs, always read the printed ingredient panel on the tin before eating.
How should I use and store Ricola Kräuterzucker?
Let one candy dissolve slowly in the mouth for a mild herbal, lightly cooling taste; each candy provides 2.5 mg of menthol. Ricola suggests enjoying it as part of a varied and balanced diet. Store the tin protected from heat and moisture and keep it closed between uses so the candies stay dry, firm, and easy to separate.
Is Ricola Kräuterzucker the same as Ricola throat drops?
No. Ricola Kräuterzucker uses the same 13-herb blend found in Ricola's well-known throat drops, but it is sold as a traditional Swiss herbal candy in a 250 g tin, not as a medicated lozenge. It is a confectionery product, not a drug or dietary supplement, so it makes no medical claims and is simply a herbal sweet.
Is Ricola Kräuterzucker imported from Switzerland?
Yes. This is the genuine Swiss product made by Ricola AG in Laufen, Switzerland, in the original 8.82 oz (250 g) resealable tin sold across Europe. Real Prime Deals imports it directly and ships every order from our New Jersey warehouse, so customers in the United States and Canada receive the same tin sold in Swiss and German stores.
