Essentially there are two kinds of vegan sweets: the ones that have been designed to be vegan friendly, and the sweets that weren’t designed to be vegan but which are accidentally so (such as Starburst, Skittles and many other longstanding favourites). The ones that were designed with vegans in mind usually make their vegan credentials very apparent through their packaging and advertising, while the others often require a little more investigation or knowledge (or a read of this page!).
