Mike & Ike Berry Blast Candy, 140g

Product Information

Blue Raspberry (light blue) - again, mild. I really couldn’t tell it was raspberry specifically, but at least there was no red food coloring aftertaste. The tart bite was completely missing. SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, CONTAINS LESS THAN 0.5% OF THE FOLLOWING: CITRIC ACID, MALIC ACID, FUMARIC ACID, SODIUM CITRATE, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, DEXTRIN, ARTIFICIAL COLOR, CONFECTIONERS GLAZE, CARNAUBA WAX, MEDIUM CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES, RED #40, YELLOW #5 (TARTRAZINE), YELLOW #6, BLUE #1. The confectioner’s glaze they use is made of shellac. It’s not entirely animal-derived. The shellac is extracted from trees where some kind of bugs make their cocoon. The ingredients are pretty much the same as the original one. So if you are somehow a liberal vegan, you would consider it a vegan. Wild Berry (dark purple) - I got only one of these, so it’s hard to make much of an assessment based on that. It tasted a lot like the raspberry, perhaps a little more intense.

Strawberry (pink) - a mild strawberry flavor. Sweet for the most part with a little tangy layer around the sugary shell.Collecting Candy - Jason shares his immense collection of candy wrappers and historical perspective to confectionery Satisfy your Grape expectations with Jolly Joes! Experience the real fruit juice flavour of Jolly Joes chewy, grape flavoured candies. They're grape! But there is a grey area in this Rootbeer version. And that is lactic acid. Organic lactic acid is found in muscle and blood. The answer is yes and no. Technically it does not contain any direct animal-derived product. So some vegans like to call it vegan-friendly. But for some strict vegans, it’s not vegan. Because the ingredients used are not ethical for the animals. Why is Mike and Ikes is considered non-vegan to some people?
