Lol, I knew the hechsher question would come up. I am very knowledgeable about hashgacha in Switzerland and here’s what I know. Ricola hard candies are certified by Zurich (Rav Levy, previously Rav Breisch), and all European kosher agencies rely on that. Now another Rabbi, who is not trusted by many put his hechsher on them purely for money and these are sold at a premium.

It’s tricky because not all flavors are available everywhere. For example licorice used to not show up on the French list because the guy in charge didn’t update it but it was Kosher. About this particular flavor, I just asked the Rabbi/chemist who makes the Zurich list (there is zero info on whether the other Rabbi actually visits the factory) and he told me that it is a new item there (came to the states and other countries first, see different packaging: https://www.ricola.com/fr-ch/produits/echinacee-miel-citron). He said he hasn’t looked into it yet and will let me know in a few weeks. I’ll update.
By the way I’m surprised of the comments regarding the extra sticker on DDMS, wasn’t aware that it was a more widely known fact!

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Eh, probably because they don’t rely on Schlesinger and don’t realize there’s another hechsher. Good luck finding a kashrut as reliable as Zurich in the US.

Just curious what is your connection to Zurich? Also, I see that the Hashagacha listed on the Ricola website is Shlesinger. Why don't they list the Zurich Kehilla?
