Sainsbury’s Mini Gems Sweets are not vegan-friendly or vegetarian.
Sainsbury’s Mini Gems Sweets 250g are not suitable for vegans and vegetarians because they contain beef gelatine. Gelatine is derived from the bones and hides of cows, pigs and fish. In this case, it comes from cows. Yuck!
If you are looking for vegan-friendly mini gems sweets, ASDA’s own are vegan!
