Jelly Tots Sweets Now Officially Certified Vegan

Rowntrees’ Jelly Tots – a favorite childhood sweet of many – are now officially labeled as vegan on the packaging.

Although the sweet does not feature any animal products in the ingredients list – for instance, gelatin, which is derived from the bones of cows and pigs and found in many jelly-like sweets – it hasn’t been marked as such until now.

Companies opting for clear vegan labeling is a progressive step; Last year, animal rights organization Animal Aid launched a campaign encouraging more supermarkets and companies to clearly label products as vegan where applicable.

Rowntrees’ Jelly Tots prove that tasty popular candy doesn’t have to include animal products, like gelatin. According to the brand, these “lovely little fruity-flavoured dots in five tasty flavours” are made from sugar, glucose syrup, and fruit juices.

It notes on its website, “with real fruit juice and no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives, [Jelly Tots] are perfect for a moment of child-like playfulness, whatever age you are.”

According to a study from last year by Mintel, the vegan candy market is growing, with new product launches increasing by 140% from 2013 to 2018.

“A shift away from animal products is currently underway,” said Mintel’s food and drink director of insight in a statement. “After a boom in other categories, the vegan and vegetarian trend can now be seen in both chocolate and sugar confectionery.”

Nostalgic sweets...that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you think about the past - can come from all sorts of different places.

Sweets in the City have a range of nostalgic sweets that are sure to send you back down memory lane. Our Retro Classic jar is filled to the brim with all the nostalgic sweets you remember from the school playground, including...

Flying Saucers

Can you think of a sweet more nostalgic than these flying saucers? The mere sight of these colourful sherbet-filled treats is enough to take you straight back to the school tuck shop! Flying saucers are consistently ranked among the UK's favourite sweets, and it's not hard to see why.

Did you know? Flying saucer sweets are Belgian. They were created by an Antwerp-based company that originally sold communion wafers.

Love Hearts First sold in 1954, Love Hearts have been an enduringly popular treat for generation after generation of British sweet lovers. The little message on each sweet makes them almost as fun to share as they are to eat! Such nostalgic sweets might even bring you back to your very first school time crush.

Did you know? Love Hearts have always moved with the times. When text messaging first took the world by storm, messages like 'luv u' and 'how r u' started appearing in packets of Love Hearts. Nowadays, your pack of Love Hearts may well contain a few sweets with emojis on them!

Fruit Salads & Black Jacks Sweets don't come much more nostalgic than this! Black Jacks have been around for nearly100 years now, and while both Black Jacks and Fruit Salads are yummy on their own, we happen to think they're best when they're mixed together. It's a nostalgic match made in sweet heaven!
