Are Fruittella sweets vegan? To find out more about how many syns Refreshers have, syn values and some low syn sweet alternatives, we've put together a guide with everything you need to know below. How Many Refreshers Can I Eat On The Slimming World?

So, what’s driving an increasingly health-conscious nation to scoff sweets? Why isn’t gum seeing the same growth? And what separated the winners from the losers? 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! The vegan candy will be supported by the brand’s “biggest campaign in recent years”, including TV and VOD. The move to create vegan-friendly sweets was inspired by the rapid rise in demand for vegan products. Speaking to The Grocer, Fruittella brand manager Diego Pol explained that veganism was “the biggest trend of the 21st century – with over 23 million people now open to a meat-free diet.”

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.” Fruittella's 'Better For You' Gelatine Free Sour Snake Jellies are perfect for Vegetarians, Vegans and those with a Meat Free Diet, but still seek a tasty treat that offers delicious fruity flavours! Sour Snakes come in 4 delicious flavours, including Tropical, Lemon, Apple and Raspberry and are Vegan Approved & endorsed by theVegetarian Society! Made with REAL fruit juice and all natural colourings and flavours, as well as being Gluten, Dairy and Nut Free,consumers can make Better For You choices without fearing artificial substitutes. 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 company will be promoting the new products in its “biggest campaign in recent years” with a series of television adverts.

At 1.5 to 2.5 syns a sweet, Fruittellas are very high in syns, this is because of their high sugar content, having up to 4g of sugar for one 6g piece, so we would suggest eating them in moderation. Both featuring the Vegetarian Society’s ‘vegan approved’ stamp, they are made with real fruit juice and natural colouring. The company said this ‘new conscious candy’ adds breadth to the Fruittella brand, which also includes the successful Better For You sugar-free and less sugar ranges. Fruittella has announced the launch of a new line of gelatine-free soft candy after seeing the “huge demand for vegan sweets” from consumers.The jungle themed jellies sport the vegan approved stamp from the Vegan Society, contain all natural colours and flavours and are gluten free. 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.” To ensure consumers peace of mind, the products are registered with The Vegetarian Society’s vegan logo.

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.” 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.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: Because Fruit-tella sweets are so popular in the UK, it’s likely you’ll find some variation of them in most supermarkets and shops. However, the gelatine-free sweets can be a bit harder to come by. You may need to search in the larger supermarkets to find them. I have yet to see the sour hippo sweets in my local stores but this may just be my area! I have tried the sour snakes and koalas- I have personally seen them in Asda, Co-Op and Morrisons but they may be available at other stores like Tesco and Sainsbury’s too. You can also buy them online via Ocado. Which other sweets are vegan-friendly?

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. 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. 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.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.”
