Trebor Softfruits 4 Roll Multipack

Product Information

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 Here we’ll list the most popular mints sold in the UK that are not vegan, along with the ingredient that puts them on the naughty step. Mint 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.

First made by Rowntree’s in 1948 and now owned by Nestlé, the mint with the hole is very popular… and vegan! The company confirmed as much in a July 2018 document, stating that Polo Mints Original, Polo Spearmint, and Polo Sugar Free Mints were all suitable for those on a vegan diet. As with Trebor Extra Strong Mints, these hard-hitters of the mint world also include gelatine amongst their ingredients.

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. A favourite of grandparents in the 1980s, Glacier Mints were first produced by Leicester-based Fox’s in 1918. The company has changed hands a number of times in the last few decades, and is now owned by Valeo Foods under the Big Bear Confectionery banner. The mints themselves, though, have changed little over the years, and are fine for vegans to eat. 5. Mentos

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 Derivatives Alas, like other humbugs, there are milk derivatives used in most Everton Mints and so vegans – even those who support Everton – should give them a miss.
