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. Another variant of humbugs and another that contains milk derivatives and hence are no good for vegans. 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 In January 1969, it bought the confectionery interests of Clarnico. In 1970, John Graham Marks [5] (29 September 1930 – 31 October 2012), the grandson of the company's founder, became chairman of the company, and owned the company with his brother Ian; the company was family run and also had a Christian paternalistic ethos. In 1981, the company discontinued night shifts, as it believed that night shifts were possibly damaging to family life. Dublin 5.

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. 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 Contains gelatine, made from animal hooves or other parts, and hence they are not suitable for vegans. 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).
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.
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. 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. 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.
Conclusions: Best Vegan Mints
But whether you are a lover of Polos, Tic Tacs or even old school Everton Mints, you will probably want to know the answers to the question at hand: which mints are vegan? And indeed, which mints are not vegan? Not All Mints Are Vegan, But Plenty Are! Beeswax comes from bees, which are animals, and though it doesn’t necessarily kill them, acquiring beeswax could potentially harm them and certainly exploits them so, as with honey, beeswax is not vegan. It is used in some well-known mints, such as Mentos Mint Roll. Milk or Milk Derivatives These are actually quite good for grandparents or anyone who don’t want to risk breaking their teeth on some of the harder mints in the list! 9. Peppersmith Mints It is possible that shellac (also known as E904) could be used as a coating for some mints. Beeswax
