Vegan Candy
Gelatin-free by recipe, not by substitution — starting with almost the whole BUBS range.
Why so much Swedish candy is already vegan
Vegan candy is usually a compromise — a version of something, made without the thing that made it work. In Sweden it often is not, because several of the classics were never made with gelatine in the first place. BUBS builds its foam and chew on other gelling agents, which means most of the range is vegan with nothing removed and nothing substituted. The skulls, the ovals and the Goody bags are the same product everybody else is eating.
That is worth knowing if you have spent years reading ingredient lists: this is not a vegan range assembled out of what was left. It is the main shelf.
How we decide what appears here
Every product on this page carries a vegan tag we have set deliberately, and where we hold the real label data it overrules the tag. A tag is somebody's memory; a label is not. One mixed bag was tagged vegan while its ingredient list ran to gelatine, beeswax and carmine — it was removed, and the check that removed it now runs on every product on this page.
Where we are not certain, the product is not here. That means this page is shorter than it could be, which is the right way round for a page people use to avoid something.
What to avoid elsewhere on the site
Gelatine and beeswax are both in the MAOAM recipes, and they turn up in some of the older Malaco ones. The chocolate is a separate problem: gelatine is rarely the issue there, milk almost always is. If you want a specific product checked before you order, email hello@pickmixcandysweden.com and we will read the label and tell you — we would rather do that than guess on your behalf.
