Trebor Softfruits 4 Roll Multipack

Product Information

Essentially balls of minty sugar (97% sugar to be precise!) there is not much to these, but they are very palatable – if not at all healthy – and perfectly vegan friendly.

From 1 March 1990, the company was known as Trebor Bassett, a division of Cadbury. Production would eventually move to North Sheffield, off the A61. Altoids mints have been going (curiously) strong for almost 250 years, but unfortunately they – like the M&S curiously similar Curiously Strong Mints – contain gelatine so are not suitable for vegans. Others though require a little more research and knowing which E numbers are vegan can save you a lot of head-scratching when you’re doing your weekly shop or popping into the sweet shop. Here are the main ingredients that are likely to render mints non-vegan. Gelatine For those who prefer their mints to be a little softer, you can’t really beat Softmints. They contain carnauba wax, but that is fine for vegans, as are the other ingredients. 3. SmintsMade from crushed insects, this colouring – which also goes by the names of carmine, carmine lake, natural red or E120 – is unlikely to be present in most mints (that tend to be white), but it might pop up in spinoffs of mint brands, such as the Strawberry Smints. Conclusions: Best Vegan Mints The mint-flavoured Tic Tacs are vegan! The clue is in the name here; butter mints are generally made with butter, which comes from milk which comes from cows… so they are not vegan. Note that some butter mints may be vegan if made with vegan butter substitutes instead of dairy butter. Perfect texture: These sour fruit jellies have a unique texture that is both chewy and soft, providing a satisfying mouthfeel that many candy lovers enjoy. They have just the right amount of chewiness that makes them a popular choice among those who love gummy candies. There are many similarities between the animal-derived ingredients found in some mints and those that crop up in sweets in general. Some are more obvious than others, with gelatine being a prime example.

Mint Imperials are often the kind that appear with the bill at the end of a meal at a restaurant, and some of them are vegan friendly… but many are not. For instance, Morrisons Mint Imperials and Waitrose Mint Imperials are fine, but Tesco Mint Imperials are not (as they contain beef gelatine). Made from sugar, water and peppermint, this sweet, traditional energy source for walkers and climbers is fine for vegans to consume. Non-Vegan Mints to Avoid Though some might dispute whether Kendal Mint Cake should even be in the ‘mints’ category, we think it should, so it’s here as a bonus entry rather than as part of the Top 10. By the end of the 1960s, the company was exporting to over fifty countries; 20% of its output from its three factories was exported. [3] The largest export market was the United States. Up to 1966, it had doubled its exports in four years. In the 1967 Birthday Honours, the Chairman John Marks (son of the founder, and who died in December 1980) was appointed a CBE for the company's exports; he was president from 1956 to 1959 of the Cocoa, Chocolate and Confectionery Alliance. We like to start things off in a positive fashion, so let’s begin with some of the best vegan-friendly mints available in the United Kingdom, which includes a couple we feature in our more general Vegan Sweets article.Alas, like other humbugs, there are milk derivatives used in most Everton Mints and so vegans – even those who support Everton – should give them a miss. Its main headquarters were at Clayhall, next to the southern terminus (Junction 4 or Woodford Interchange) of the M11 on the Southend Road Industrial Estate on the A1400 (former A406 or North Circular Road).
