Huer Foods® Heats Up the Candy Aisle, Introducing the Frank's RedHot® Spicy Gummy Bear
Canada's favourite gummy brand teams up with Frank's RedHot® for a candy creation that's as bold as it is delicious
VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 29, 2025 /CNW/ - Hold onto your taste buds, Canada. Huer Foods® is the country's gummy candy innovator, and Frank's RedHot® is the #1 hot sauce in the world. * We have teamed up to unleash a candy mashup nobody saw coming: Huer x Frank's RedHot® Spicy Gummy Bears. This collaboration marks a significant moment in the "swicy" (sweet and spicy) category, indulging the growing demand for bold and complex flavour profiles among Canadian consumers.
This isn't just candy. It's Huer's soft, juicy, fruity bears sprinkled with Frank's RedHot ® Original Seasoning Blend. It's the collision of sweet and spicy — Huer x Frank's RedHot Spicy Gummy Bears bring a fiery flavour punch that's equal parts playful and powerful: a fruity pop followed by the unmistakable tangy kick of Frank's RedHot® - proving that sugar and spice really do play nice.
The timing couldn't be hotter: 51% of Canadians are already consuming spicy foods at least once a week** with Gen Z leading the charge, unapologetically adding heat to everything from avocado toast to ice cream to lattes.
"Canadians are turning up the heat on everything they eat," said Molly Clinton, Head of Marketing at Huer Foods. "From hot condiments to spicy cocktails, swicy is everywhere. After the buzz around our Sweet 'N Spicy gummies, we knew it was time to go bolder, and nobody does spicy better than Frank's RedHot®."
"Frank's RedHot has always been about bringing the perfect balance of flavor and heat," said Valda Coryat, Vice President of Marketing at McCormick & Company, Inc. "We hit the 'sweet spot' and created a swicy candy with a kick that's sure to delight."
Frank's RedHot Spicy Gummy Bears is now available for purchase in multiple sizes, perfect for on-the-go or as a crowd-pleasing snack. The sweet and spicy collaboration is igniting confectionery aisles with flavour in retailers nationwide, and on Huer's Amazon storefront. Visit Huer's store locator to find a seller near you.
Get ready, Canada. Candy just got hot.
