Is Sweetarts vegan?

No vegan range; most Sweetarts products contain gelatin and milk derivatives.

Vegan means no animal-derived ingredients — beeswax, lanolin, carmine, collagen, silk or milk proteins — anywhere in the formula. It is a separate claim from cruelty-free, and a brand can be one without the other.
