Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, it was among the three biggest confectionery manufacturers in the United Kindom, alongside Cadbury and Fry, and by 1981 it was already considered the fourth-largest confectionery in the world. Given the experience from this consumer, I’d say that Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles are not gluten-free. Are Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles Halal? In developing the new formulation, we were very conscious of our responsibility as custodians of this much-loved brand and its long history. Through this recipe change, we’ve made the sweets slightly softer, which we know has been a market trend for several years. However, our priority was to preserve the fabulously fruity chew that has made Fruit Pastilles a classic for almost a century and a half.”

Nestlé says the new range adds several new shapes including a hashtag, a gnome, a unicorn and a flamingo while sweets shaped like a cake, birthday present, party popper and number 10 are all added to celebrate the brand’s 10th anniversary. No, they are not gluten-free. I’ve tried these and gotten ill with a gluten reaction. Rowntree lists them as containing gluten but below codex level, which means the start and/or the glucose syrup are from a wheat source. Based on the reaction I had, I do not believe they even meet the codex requirement.” Nestlé has announced a major refresh for its historic Rowntree’s brand and an expansion of its Randoms range. According to Rowntree’s brand manager, there were plenty of requests over the years for vegan products: Even though the three products Rowntree’s has launched are vegan, there are still some vegans who aren’t too receptive to the idea of consuming products from a company like Nestlé which has an unethical footprint. Should we buy from companies like Nestlé?These classic sweets are a great choice for treat time. And with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, you can feel happy to enjoy these as a fun treat. In other words, the company will begin to invest its profits into creating more vegan products, which may entice non-vegan consumers to eat vegan products, reducing animal suffering on a broader scale. Eventually, Rowntree’s was bought by Nestlé, and today it continues to market products such as Fruit Pastilles, Fruit Gums, and Jelly Tots, which are the ones vegans are interested in when inquiring about their products.

Sharing bags containing only Squish’ems (squishy foam and fruity jelly in one sweet), Foamies (foamy sweets) and now sour sweets, Randoms Sours, are joining the existing range of Rowntree’s Randoms as of this week. A fourth sharing bag, Randoms Easter mix, is a seasonal selection of random Easter related shapes on sale now for the Easter season.
