In short; Maybe. Let me explain:
Sainsbury’s Jelly Beans 200g might be vegan, but we have a couple of concerns.
The product listing on Sainsbury’s website states that Sainsbury’s Rhubarb & Custard Sweets are only vegetarian. They are usually good at marking their products vegan or vegetarian. The fact that they listed the product as vegetarian could be reason enough to assume it’s not vegan.
We checked the list of ingredients and while all ingredients are typically vegan, some ingredients are a grey area:
- Sugar: Is sometimes processed with bone char, making it non-vegan. It is not clear for this product how the sugar has been processed.
- Flavourings: This is a grey area; some flavourings can be animal-derived. It’s not clear what flavourings have been used here.
INGREDIENTS: Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Sorbitol Syrup, Flavourings, Acid: Citric Acid; Colours: Anthocyanins, Curcumin.
