Sainsbury’s Liquorice Bites might be vegan. Let me explain:
Sainsbury’s Liquorice Bites 200g could be vegan but we have a couple of concerns.
First of all, the ingredients are all typically vegan but it’s not clear what flavourings have been used here. Some flavourings can be animal-derived so caution is advised here.
Secondly, Sainsbury’s website classed this product only as vegetarian and not as vegan. While the ingredients look vegan, you may be best assuming these are not vegan.
INGREDIENTS: Treacle, Fortified Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Glucose Syrup, Maize Starch, Liquorice Extract, Salt, Flavouring, Sunflower Oil, Glazing Agent: Carnauba Wax.
