Where it comes from
Fruit chews sit at the bottom of the confectionery ladder, cheap to produce and sold by weight since the mid twentieth century. The category is dominated by a handful of European manufacturers who supply almost every pick and mix shop in Britain under different names.
What it's made of
Sugar, glucose syrup and vegetable fat with gelatine, worked into a chew, flavoured with fruit and coloured with vegetable concentrates.
