I'm thinking it might be an error. Swizzels has a few sweets that look like they're vegan from the ingredients listed, but aren't listed as vegan on their website. Maybe they haven't been arsed to check whether all their sweets are vegan or not and have listed the ones they haven't checked as not vegan.

Kind of!

Dear Michael

Thank you for your e-mail dated 9 April 2008.

Further to your enquiry, we can advise you that when the information sheet was compiled the suitability of Love Hearts for a vegetarian diet had just been confirmed (ie the ingredients contained modified starch in place of gelatine). At this time, however, their suitability for a vegan diet had not been tested and qualified.

We are awaiting a new product information sheet, and will forward this to you once compiled.

Yours sincerely
SWIZZELS MATLOW LIMITED

So now we wait and see. Not really sure what testing they need to do, but it is better they make sure and err on the side of caution.

There are milk derived ingredients that are suitable for the lactose intolerant yet get called dairy free so I suppose it is possible to be called that, vegetarian, yet still not vegan.

Michael.
