Leave out sweets that list

This shows what is listed in each sweet's ingredients. It cannot promise a sweet is free of an allergen, because we pack everything in one warehouse that handles all of them. Always read the ingredients on the sweet's page and the label on your pouch.

What the badges mean
Vegan

No animal ingredients at all.

Vegetarian

No gelatine, carmine or other ingredients from an animal's body. It can still contain milk or egg.

Gelatine free

Made without gelatine. That does not always make it vegetarian, so check the ingredients.

Halal

The maker or supplier lists it as halal.

Sugar free

Made with sweeteners in place of sugar.

Badges come from the supplier's specification for each sweet and are checked against the ingredients. If a supplier changes a recipe we update the badge the day we find out, and the label in your pouch always shows what is actually in it.

The 14 allergens

The law names 14 allergens: celery, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, soya and sulphites. Bars show how many of our 596 sweets list each one in the ingredients (bright pink) and how many carry a may contain warning (purple).

None of our sweets list celery, lupin, fish, crustaceans or molluscs in their ingredients. Every sweet's page shows its full ingredients with any allergen in bold, so that is the place to check for a specific sweet.

The honest bit

We pack every order in one warehouse that handles nuts, peanuts, gluten, milk, soya, sesame and other allergens, with scoops and surfaces cleaned between sweets but not in separate rooms. So we cannot promise any sweet is completely free of any allergen, however carefully we work. If you or the person you are buying for has a severe allergy, please read the ingredients, check the label when it arrives, and if you are ever unsure, email hello@candy4u.co.uk before you eat it. We would rather answer the question than have you guess.

Subscription boxes

If you subscribe, the dietary filters you set on your stash remove any sweet that does not match, including the monthly exclusive sweet, which is swapped for another from your stash if it does not pass. Every sweet in your box is labelled individually.
