Made from sugar, water and peppermint, this sweet, traditional energy source for walkers and climbers is fine for vegans to consume. Non-Vegan Mints to Avoid There are many similarities between the animal-derived ingredients found in some mints and those that crop up in sweets in general. Some are more obvious than others, with gelatine being a prime example. First made by Rowntree’s in 1948 and now owned by Nestlé, the mint with the hole is very popular… and vegan! The company confirmed as much in a July 2018 document, stating that Polo Mints Original, Polo Spearmint, and Polo Sugar Free Mints were all suitable for those on a vegan diet. The archetypal after dinner mint is not vegan as they contain butterfat from milk. As we explain in our dedicated article on After Eights though, there are plenty of vegan-friendly alternatives. Its main headquarters were at Clayhall, next to the southern terminus (Junction 4 or Woodford Interchange) of the M11 on the Southend Road Industrial Estate on the A1400 (former A406 or North Circular Road).
Alas, like other humbugs, there are milk derivatives used in most Everton Mints and so vegans – even those who support Everton – should give them a miss. Dublin 5.

Store in a cool, dry place. Though some might dispute whether Kendal Mint Cake should even be in the ‘mints’ category, we think it should, so it’s here as a bonus entry rather than as part of the Top 10. Made from crushed insects, this colouring – which also goes by the names of carmine, carmine lake, natural red or E120 – is unlikely to be present in most mints (that tend to be white), but it might pop up in spinoffs of mint brands, such as the Strawberry Smints. Conclusions: Best Vegan Mints The mint-flavoured Tic Tacs are vegan! The company was headquartered in what was south-west Essex, in Woodford, Greater London. It initially had a factory at Forest Gate called the Trebor Works from 1935 between Upton Park tube station and East Ham tube station in what is now the London Borough of Newham, [6] north of the former ground of West Ham United F.C. and west of Plashet.
From 1 March 1990, the company was known as Trebor Bassett, a division of Cadbury. Production would eventually move to North Sheffield, off the A61.
As present in humbugs and related mints, milk and derivatives of milk can cause mints to be non-vegan. Cochineal We like to start things off in a positive fashion, so let’s begin with some of the best vegan-friendly mints available in the United Kingdom, which includes a couple we feature in our more general Vegan Sweets article. Trebor Mints is a brand steeped in British confectionery history. Since its establishment in 1907, Trebor has delighted sweet enthusiasts with a wide range of iconic sweets and hard candies. A shining light of the British confectionery world, Trebor’s commitment to quality and their irresistible range of sweets has led to them being the household name that they are today. Over the years, they’ve made many sweets, but today they are known and loved for their range of irresistible mints. Altoids mints have been going (curiously) strong for almost 250 years, but unfortunately they – like the M&S curiously similar Curiously Strong Mints – contain gelatine so are not suitable for vegans.
Non-Vegan Mints to Avoid
Others though require a little more research and knowing which E numbers are vegan can save you a lot of head-scratching when you’re doing your weekly shop or popping into the sweet shop. Here are the main ingredients that are likely to render mints non-vegan. Gelatine For those who prefer their mints to be a little softer, you can’t really beat Softmints. They contain carnauba wax, but that is fine for vegans, as are the other ingredients. 3. Smints As Ian Marks said at the launch, ‘We see the necessity to adapt to the changing needs of society, so we are trying to develop a management structure – and an environment – within the company which will enable it to cope effectively with change; an environment of mutual trust and respect.’ Arthur Chapman, the director of corporate development, explained the brief given to architects: ‘Rather than an inhuman hangar concept, we wanted separate product ‘houses’ with which relatively small groups of people could identify. These are arranged around a central amenity area and energy centre and connected by a street.’ Here we’ll list the most popular mints sold in the UK that are not vegan, along with the ingredient that puts them on the naughty step. Mint
Contains gelatine, made from animal hooves or other parts, and hence they are not suitable for vegans. Essentially balls of minty sugar (97% sugar to be precise!) there is not much to these, but they are very palatable – if not at all healthy – and perfectly vegan friendly. A favourite of grandparents in the 1980s, Glacier Mints were first produced by Leicester-based Fox’s in 1918. The company has changed hands a number of times in the last few decades, and is now owned by Valeo Foods under the Big Bear Confectionery banner. The mints themselves, though, have changed little over the years, and are fine for vegans to eat. 5. Mentos Mint Imperials are often the kind that appear with the bill at the end of a meal at a restaurant, and some of them are vegan friendly… but many are not. For instance, Morrisons Mint Imperials and Waitrose Mint Imperials are fine, but Tesco Mint Imperials are not (as they contain beef gelatine).By the end of the 1960s, the company was exporting to over fifty countries; 20% of its output from its three factories was exported. [3] The largest export market was the United States. Up to 1966, it had doubled its exports in four years. In the 1967 Birthday Honours, the Chairman John Marks (son of the founder, and who died in December 1980) was appointed a CBE for the company's exports; he was president from 1956 to 1959 of the Cocoa, Chocolate and Confectionery Alliance. In 1985 Trebor made one last major acquisition. As with Clarnico, it chose a well established name in confectionery, based in East London with a long history as a family business. Maynards was founded in 1896 by Charles and Tom Maynard, whose family had already been making sweets in their kitchen for several decades. In 1909 they launched their wine gums, which remain to this day an iconic brand of confectionery. Indeed, it was this strength in gums and jellies – especially the Original Wine Gum and the American Hard Gum – which attracted Trebor.
