What to check on this pack

The first ingredient listed is sugar and the list has 6 named ingredients. The product data carries these labels: vegetarian. One of the named ingredients needs a closer look:

  • E476 (Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR)) (doubtful): The castor oil part is plant-based; the glycerol part can be animal-derived. Common in chocolate. To confirm for this product, ask the maker for the source of the e476 (polyglycerol polyricinoleate (pgpr)).
