Good to know

Refresher bars have 3.5 syns per bar for an 18g bar, making them a great low syn sweet treat to have on the slimming world plan, they should be had within moderation however due to their high sugar content. Another key trend is the plant-based movement. A growing army of vegan shoppers have made animal-free sweets a hot area of growth. For proof, see the performance of Candy Kittens. The adult sweets brand has reported a 50% rise in sales since relaunching its range as 100% vegan in 2017. That makes it one of the fastest growing players in candy in percentage terms – up 46.8% in value this year on volumes up 39.4% (albeit from a relatively small base). The Koala shaped sweets come in a mix of flavours including lemon, pineapple and raspberry whilst the Sour Snakes come in tropical, lemon, apple and raspberry flavours. There was “huge demand for vegan sweets” added Fruittella brand manager Diego Pol. “But often the taste and texture suffers when gelatine is removed. We’ve worked to make sure our new Fruittella jellies have the same great taste that people expect of any Fruittella product.” On the slimming world plan, you can happily eat sweets and indulge as long as they fit into your syn allowance to avoid weight gain.

Mentos is hoping to turn around its flagging value sales in gum (down 22.1% on volumes down 23.7%) with two additions to its Pure Fresh range. Cherry and Tropical rolled out in November in a 50-piece bottle. Mentos Pure Fresh’s “liquid centre and long-lasting flavour provides differentiation,” says PVM’s Roberts. “The market needs that differentiation to drive new people into the category.” The NPD was created to tap “the biggest trend of the 21st century – with over 23 million people now open to a meat free diet” PVM said. Launches – or at least, relaunches –certainly seem to be key in this market. Haribo, for example, has seen value increase 4.2% after overhauling its Funny Mix and Jelly Bean lines. And Rowntree attributes much of its 2.4% value growth to the relaunch of Randoms in March, including new pouches of Sours, Squish’ems, Foamies and Juicers. The growth of veganism is in line with the evolving way that consumers, especially younger generations, are seeing health,” says Candy Kittens marketing manager Ana Melvin. “Perceptions of health have shifted from focusing on macronutrients to looking for natural, unprocessed ingredients this year, which is benefiting vegan confectionery brands.”Fast forward to 2023, Fruit-tella now has a variety of different sweets you can buy, including the classic chews, Duostix, jelly sweets and fruit drops. But are they vegan? Let’s take a look! Are Fruittella sweets vegan? At 3.5 syns per refresher, you could have up to four refreshers before using up all your daily syn allowance, making them a great low syn sweet treat. Refreshers are however quite high in sugar, having up to 12g a small bar, so we would have these sweets in moderation. Syn Values Of Refreshers If you think Brits are eating more candy because there are more reduced sugar options on shelf, think again. The launch of Haribo’s 30% less sugar Fruitilicious in early 2018 “has not been followed by a stream of reduced sugar variants as we may have expected” says Adam Paulson, client manager at Nielsen. Still, it’s not been all plain sailing in the sugar confectionery aisle. Some of the biggest brands have lost millions of pounds, and gum is falling out of favour. Sadly, this flurry of activity isn’t reflected across gum – a sector that “is significantly less dynamic than others within confectionery” according to Nielsen’s Paulson. Sales have been sluggish as a result. “The biggest growth this year has been from Starburst, which is simply establishing itself in the market after launching last year.”

The jungle themed jellies sport the vegan approved stamp from the Vegan Society, contain all natural colours and flavours and are gluten free. Their other flavours of chews, their Fruit Jellies Coins, In the Snow sweets, Fruit Jellies Duos, Duostix, Zoomania and By the Sea sweets are also made with gelatine.Sadly none of these are vegan! Fruittella sweets first came around in 1931, when the people at the Italian-Dutch confectionery company, Van Melle, created the classic, chewy Fruittella squares. The sweets first arrived in the UK in the late 1950’s and have been popular ever since. They were all the rage during my childhood in the 90’s! We know that gelatine is not vegan-friendly but what about other ingredients in sweets? There are many accidentally vegan sweets in the supermarkets but you have to be careful when choosing. You’re always on the lookout for eggs and/or dairy, but there are a few non-vegan ingredients that can sometimes slip by- ones you may not notice at first glance. Here are the most common ones:

However, there is some good news! Fruittella do have some vegan sweets! In 2019, Fruit-tella released some gelatine-free bags of sweets that also happen to be vegan. These sweets are the gummy koalas, sour snakes and sour hippos. Their sugar free fruit drops are also vegan-friendly, coming in red berry and citrus flavours. Are Duostix, Zoomania or other Fruit-tella sweets vegan? Overall, Fruittella sweets are very high in syns, having up to 2.5 syns a sweet and being very high in sugar, to save syns we would recommend eating these sweets in moderation due to their high sugar content. At 1.5 syns for a 6g piece, you could have up to 10 syn sweets before using up all your 15 syn daily allowances. Syn Values Of Fruitella Both featuring the Vegetarian Society’s ‘vegan approved’ stamp, they are made with real fruit juice and natural colouring. The vegan candy will be supported by the brand’s “biggest campaign in recent years”, including TV and VOD.
