Product Information

Rowntree's Brand Manager Meg Miller said: “This one is for the Rowntree's Randoms superfans. They told us, we’ve listened and we’ve given them a whole sharing bag of Juicers to enjoy with their friends and family. Our Randoms Juicers come in two flavours, each soft fruity jelly is filled with a jammy liquid centre and comes in and loads of fun shapes.” Most of Rowntree’s products are not vegan because they’re confectioned using gelatin, an ingredient that is obtained by boiling skin, tendons, ligaments, and/or bones with water. Rowntree’s are the nation’s fruity favourite, with more single tubes of Fruit Pastilles sold than any other fruit confectionery product in the UK. In fact, our products are enjoyed by 15 million people every year! www.rowntrees.co.uk

And with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, you can feel happy to enjoy these as a fun treat. Nestlé’s confectionery team in York have welcomed a new addition of its ever popular Rowntree’s Randoms brand as it continues to grow in the fruit sugar confectionery sector. Rowntree’s is a British confectionary that developed some of the most popular candies/chocolates in the world, including Kit Kat, Aero, Smarties, and After Eight.There is truly something for everyone in the new range whether you prefer the jelly Squish’ems, the foamy sweets or something a little more on the sour side,” said Hannah Smithson, Assistant Brand Manager for Rowntree’s. In other words, the company will begin to invest its profits into creating more vegan products, which may entice non-vegan consumers to eat vegan products, reducing animal suffering on a broader scale. No, they are not gluten-free. I’ve tried these and gotten ill with a gluten reaction. Rowntree lists them as containing gluten but below codex level, which means the start and/or the glucose syrup are from a wheat source. Based on the reaction I had, I do not believe they even meet the codex requirement.”

So, which Rowntree’s products are vegan? Rowntree’s original product range is not vegan because they contain gelatin. However, they have recently introduced a new range of Fruit Pastilles and Jelly Tots that don’t contain any animal ingredients. Given the experience from this consumer, I’d say that Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles are not gluten-free. Are Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles Halal? Rowntree's Randoms are a jelly sweet produced by Nestlé under its Rowntree's brand. The sweet was launched in the UK on 18 May 2009.

Hannah Smithson, Assistant Brand Manager for Rowntree’s said: “We are so excited to announce all of this new news for Rowntree’s Randoms’. There is truly something for everyone in the new range whether you prefer the jelly Squish’ems, the foamy sweets or something a little more on the sour side.

According to Nestlé, Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles are safe for a gluten-free diet, however, some consumers have claimed to have gotten ill from a gluten reaction. In 2013, a new variant was released, named "Squidgey Speak". A second variant followed in 2014 named "Sweet 'n' Sour". We are often faced with ethical complications when it comes to buying products from giant companies, such as Nestlé, which profit largely from products of animal origin. He believes that you should consume vegan products from non-vegan companies for the reasons we have mentioned above. Summary: Rowntree’s Has Three Vegan Products In developing the new formulation, we were very conscious of our responsibility as custodians of this much-loved brand and its long history. Through this recipe change, we’ve made the sweets slightly softer, which we know has been a market trend for several years. However, our priority was to preserve the fabulously fruity chew that has made Fruit Pastilles a classic for almost a century and a half.”In addition to the new shapes, the green sweets, currently lime-flavoured, will now be apple-flavoured after the change proved more popular in testing. All of the sweets continue to contain no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. On the other hand, when we buy their vegan products, we can compel them to launch more vegan products, which is quite impactful in the grand scheme of things.
