About this deal

Yes, strawberry jelly is vegan. Most brands of strawberry jelly are made with sugar, corn syrup, fruit pectin, and citric acid. Some brands may also add food coloring or natural flavors. Clearly labelled as vegan (so don’t worry about the lactic acid in there, it will be from non-animal sources), these tasty, gluten free worms are not quite as sour as Sour Patch Kids, but they are certainly tangy enough. Some might say these are almost a direct copy of Haribo’s Sour Rainbow Strips, but our lawyers suggest we simply say they are very, very similar. Ultimately, it is really just gelatine letting the side down here, depending where you stand on the palm oil front. But don’t worry too much, vegan sweet lovers, there are plenty of other options available to you. A Note About About Palm Oil

Please Note that in this article we are focussing on the Sour Patch Kids sold in the United Kingdom. It is possible that some Sour Patch Kids sweets sold in the US and Canada and possibly other areas of the world have been made containing different ingredients (for instance, without gelatine).

The Welch’s Company is a family-owned co-op in North America that produces Welch’s Concord Grape Jelly. Concord grape jelly does not contain any vegan ingredients. You can eat it in moderation to keep it well tolerated and not cause any negative side effects. If you have underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, you should be extremely cautious when consuming grape jelly. Concord Grape Jelly is made with high fructose corn syrup and citric acid, which are both high in sugar. Citric acid is naturally present in citrus foods, but it is also produced via a chemical reaction when it is added as a food additive. This process can lead to fatty liver disease in your body, which increases your chances of becoming obese or having diabetes. Well Jelly Babies are not vegetarian or vegan friendly. Why is boy George eating them?”, one person wrote. “Is Boy George vegan? If so why is he eating Jelly Babies?”, added another. Palm oil is something of a contentious issue when it comes to assessing whether or not it is vegan. On the face of it, given that it comes from plants, it is indeed, technically, vegan. But the environmental implications (including the destruction of the habitat of endangered animals) mean that many vegans view palm oil as non-vegan, especially those drawn to veganism for environmental reasons. As mentioned, the standard Sour Patch Kids sweets are jelly sweets that are covered in sugar. They were created by American, Frank Galatolie, in the early 1970s while he was working for a confectioner called Jaret International.

It had previously been claimed that he’d be following a vegan diet on the show, leading many to question his decision to eat them. Jelly Babies are a type of soft sugar jelly sweets in the shape of plump babies, sold in a variety of colours. They were first manufactured in Lancashire, England, in the nineteenth century. [1] Their popularity waned before being revived by Bassett's of Sheffield in Yorkshire, who began mass-producing Jelly Babies (initially sold as "Peace Babies") in 1918. [1] History [ edit ] Palm Oil– Palm oil comes from plants, but some vegans suggest it does not fit with vegan ethics (see more below). Martin, Nicole (18 March 1999). "Jellyatrics revive those sweet memories". Irish Independent . Retrieved 20 September 2020. The following table shows which Haribo sweets are vegan and vegetarian in the UK. Please note that ingredients may vary by country. Haribo sweetsUnfortunately, vegans are excluded from eating the gummy treats as they use beeswax as a glazing agent. Gelatine– Uh oh! Gelatine is definitely not vegan! Used as an additive to create a jelly-like texture in foods, gelatine is produced from pig skins, cow hides, animal bones and sometimes other animal parts. Grim.

Hartley’s jelly pots are vegan because they do not contain gelatine or animal-derived colors, making them suitable for school lunches. Colours (Anthocyanins, Vegetable Carbon, Paprika Extract, Lutein, Curcumin)– Without delving too deeply into the details, whilst some colourings are animal-derived, all of these come from plant sources. The introduction of different shapes and names was an innovation, circa 1989, prior to which all colours of jelly baby were a uniform shape. Bassett's Jelly Babies changed in September 2007 to include only natural colours and ingredients. [8] There are many brands of jelly babies, as well as supermarket own brands. The sweets were invented in 1864 by an Austrian immigrant working at Fryers of Lancashire, and were originally marketed as "Unclaimed Babies". [1] [4] By 1918 they were produced by Bassett's in Sheffield as "Peace Babies", to mark the end of World War I. [1] Bassett's themselves have supported the "Peace Babies" name. [5] Production was suspended during World War II due to wartime shortages. The product was relaunched as "Jelly Babies" in 1953. [1]
