chartpolski 24,577 Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Evidently jelly tots have allways been vegan like some of their other products, but some products still use pork jelatine. Theyve just decided to virtue signal by advertising the vegan aspect on their packets. My brother in law has worked at Rowntrees factory in Newcastle all his working life, but now it's closing and transferring to Eastern Europe, another good reason to boycott them. Cheers.
