Jelly Tots are a product of Rowntree’s (an iconic sweet company, now owned and controlled by Nestle), and have been enjoyed by children on long car journeys since 1965. They are vegan-friendly and contain no animal products. However, they are manufactured in factories that also process gelatine so vegans may choose to skip them.
The vegan version of Fruit Pastilles is a recent addition to the sweets selection. This was a great surprise for nostalgic sweet-lovers everywhere. As a child, who doesn't recall picking up a tube from the corner shop and hoping for a red one? (Again, the best flavour!)
Note that for this article we are focussing on sweets in the traditional sense, that is those that come in packets, such as Starburst or Skittles (both of which have longer articles elsewhere on the site considering their vegan – or otherwise – credentials), or those you might have ordered a quarter of in your local newsagent, back in the day (assuming you’re old enough!). We haven’t included bars of chocolate or boxes of chocolates, so chocoholics should head to our vegan chocolate page for more info about that).
It is your choice to limit yourself to products made for vegans (often from companies that make only vegan products). It's obvious that those who choose to veganize for health reasons may wish not to eat as many of these sweets. However, for occasional sweet treats there are many good vegan-friendly options. These will allow you the pleasure of a sugary treat without causing any harm to animals.
You can still enjoy the rainbow while being vegan, as these childhood favorites are accidentaly completely free from animal products.
