New Jellybeans without gelatin!!!

    Managed to pick up some new jellybeans today and they are tasty!

    From a company called The Jelly Bean Factory, they are:

    Free from Gelatin
    Free from Gluten
    Free from GMO
    Free from Nuts

    Coming in a small-ish green packet, they cost around 70c in my local rip-off store so good pricing i guess:D

    However there is always a downside...the glazing agents are Carnauba wax, Beeswax and Shellac so those veggies with animal issues should avoid.

    Just like you ladies i've failed to see the coveted packs of Haribo ones anywhere:(:(

    But i did see veggie/vegan cola bottles and wine gums (cant be sure) in Health Matters on Grafton St. a few days ago while buying energy gels for my running pursuits:D

    T'was Superquinn, Ranelagh. I've kept an eye out but haven't seen them since I bought all of them off the shelf. You'd think they'd construe this as demand :rolleyes:

    I was enjoying looking at the Haribo logo and underneath, the legend "Suitable for Vegetarians" but the glazing agents include Carnauba and Beeswax. I still have a pack for Sweet-R, if she be wantin' ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,128 ✭✭✭sweet-rasmus


    beeswax :(

    that's why I never saw them on the Vegan Store website.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,399 ✭✭✭✭maameeo

    It's the wax of a South American palm tree, no idea why it wouldn't be veggie?? Unless insects get scooped in with the harvesting of the wax.

    ammerican hard gums are like giant jelly tots! - mainly found in bags & also in loose jars in the few shops that still sell this way.
