Malaco Pastellfiskar is the parallel product. They’re made by different companies now, the recipes have diverged over the past 70ish years, and the US version does not meet EU food safety standards. I can find Pastellfiskar in almost any grocery store.
Jelly Babies.
Blackcurrant Jam.
I dunno if they count, but Swedish Fish.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Swedish fish outside of America

Yeah, I know they originated in Sweden, but I don’t know how long that was maintained.
The red Swedish fish are not from Sweden
Apparently they were originally, just not in my lifetime. :)

And now I know more about Swedish Fish than I ever, really, necessarily needed to know!
Oh, interesting! I didn’t realize malaco made Swedish fish and was Swedish.
And they have a black liccorice flavor in Sweden(!)
