The present invention addresses the issue of providing a grape juice-containing gummy that contains polyunsaturated fatty acid and has reduced occurrence of offensive odors derived from the polyunsaturated fatty acid. The present invention provides a grape juice-containing gummy containing polyunsaturated fatty acids obtained by forming an oil and fat composition in which a water phase with a particle diameter of 300 nm or less in which a polyphenol as water-soluble antioxidants and an organic acid are dissolved is finely dispersed in an oil phase containing polyunsaturated fatty acids and dispersing the oil and fat composition in a gummy containing grape juice, thereby suppressing the occurrence of unusual flavor in the gummy.
