Trebor Softfruits 4 Roll Multipack

Product Information

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. 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. 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).

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. Beeswax comes from bees, which are animals, and though it doesn’t necessarily kill them, acquiring beeswax could potentially harm them and certainly exploits them so, as with honey, beeswax is not vegan. It is used in some well-known mints, such as Mentos Mint Roll. Milk or Milk DerivativesMints are refreshing sweets that come in many guises, from hard to soft, chewy to crumbly. And though they share similar minty flavours (based on the mentha genus of plants) and often similar colours (white being most commonly associated with mints) they can vary greatly in style. 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. Smints 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. In January 1969, it bought the confectionery interests of Clarnico. In 1970, John Graham Marks [5] (29 September 1930 – 31 October 2012), the grandson of the company's founder, became chairman of the company, and owned the company with his brother Ian; the company was family run and also had a Christian paternalistic ethos. In 1981, the company discontinued night shifts, as it believed that night shifts were possibly damaging to family life. The archetypal after dinner mint is not vegan as they contain butterfat from milk. As we explain in our dedicated article on After Eights though, there are plenty of vegan-friendly alternatives.

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
