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. Brand new variants of Rowntree’s Randoms – Nestlé’s randomly shaped, fruit flavoured sweets – are being introduced to coincide with its tenth birthday and a major refresh of the Rowntree’s brand.The introduction of new choices in the Rowntree’s Randoms range comes at the same time as a major re-brand for Rowntree’s which covers Nestlé’s full range of sugar sweets including Fruit Pastilles, Fruit Gums and Jelly Tots as well as Randoms. 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.

Eventually, Rowntree’s was bought by Nestlé, and today it continues to market products such as Fruit Pastilles, Fruit Gums, and Jelly Tots, which are the ones vegans are interested in when inquiring about their products.

Rowntree’s: Which Sweets are Vegan?

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.” Sharing bags containing only Squish’ems (squishy foam and fruity jelly in one sweet), Foamies (foamy sweets) and now sour sweets, Randoms Sours, are joining the existing range of Rowntree’s Randoms from this week, the company announced. A fourth sharing bag, Randoms Easter mix, is a seasonal selection of random Easter related shapes on sale now for the Easter season.

Nestlé has announced a major refresh for its historic Rowntree’s brand and an expansion of its Randoms range. 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.” 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. Sharing bags containing only Squish’ems (squishy foam and fruity jelly in one sweet), Foamies (foamy sweets) and now sour sweets, Randoms Sours, are joining the existing range of Rowntree’s Randoms as of this week. A fourth sharing bag, Randoms Easter mix, is a seasonal selection of random Easter related shapes on sale now for the Easter season.Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, it was among the three biggest confectionery manufacturers in the United Kindom, alongside Cadbury and Fry, and by 1981 it was already considered the fourth-largest confectionery in the world. 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. We’ve been working very hard to make this year the best yet for Randoms and are delighted to introduce new shapes, tastes, textures and flavours that all our consumers will absolutely love!​” A Nestlé spokesperson said: “Sweet tastes and trends change over the years and Tooty Frooties have become much less popular in the decades since their launch. In 2019, people prefer the jelly and foamy sweets you find in Rowntree’s Randoms and that’s why we’ve decided to concentrate on new products under the Randoms brand.”

With that being said, there are many products Rowntree’s have in their line, so it’s important to separate non-vegan products from vegan products. In this article, we’re going to do that and more. Rowntree’s: Which Sweets are Vegan? 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.We have had many requests from consumers over the years asking if we can make Fruit Pastilles vegetarian or vegan. We want the brand to be enjoyed by as many consumers as possible and so we are delighted to be able to introduce our new vegan-friendly recipe across the full range of sweets.
