“Our team is excited to partner with Freedom Confectionery to bring our fans a delicious new sweet treat to enjoy,” says Cate D’Allessandro, licensing director, Pusheen Corp.
The partnership will be the first confectionery licensing agreement globally recognized brand Pusheen has made since its inception in 2010.
As the first European manufacturer of gelatin-free marshmallows, Freedom Confectionery, along with its partner Pusheen, is hoping to build on its allergy-free credentials offering vegan, vegetarian, plant-based and non-allergy customers worldwide a sweet treat that is completely gelatin-free.
The 54g strawberry flavored vegan gummy bar, named Vegumi, will be coated in dairy-free chocolate and wrapped in a designed film featuring Pusheen The Cat.

Not only does Vegumi taste amazing, but it’s also approved by The Vegan Society and is free from the top allergens. As a business, we believe in 100 percent allergy-free, no product leaves our factory without being thoroughly tested and packaged accordingly and we’re delighted that Pusheen want to be part of our business journey.”
