                                Food science indicates that the high sugar content in standard gummy bears acts as a powerful preservative, making them resistant to spoiling quickly. So, how long does it take for a gummy bear to expire? While they won't expire in the same way as fresh foods, their quality can degrade significantly over time, affecting texture and flavor.
