Fizzy Dracula teeth 300g

Description

• Appearance: These sweets are shaped like small, flat, spiky vampire fangs, with a red body and white tips. 

• Texture & Flavor: They are jelly-based with a sour, fizzy sugar coating that provides a tangy sensation. 

• Occasion: They are a popular choice for Halloween and general sweet bags. 

Common Ingredients (Vary by Brand)

• Sugar & Glucose Syrup: Provide the base sweetness and texture of the jelly sweet. 

• Wheat Starch, Modified Maize/Potato Starch:These act as gelling and thickening agents. 

• Acids: Malic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, and sodium malate provide the sour or tart flavour and work with the sodium hydrogen carbonate for the fizzy reaction. 

• Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate: A leavening agent that reacts with acids to create the fizzy sensation. 

• Flavourings: Artificial or natural fruit flavourings give the sweets their distinct taste. 

• Colouring: Vegetable concentrates (like black carrot) or artificial colourings (such as E120) provide the red and white colours. 

Potential Allergens & Dietary Considerations

• Wheat Starch:

  Many versions contain wheat starch, though some brands offer gluten-free alternatives. 

• Nuts:

  Some manufacturing facilities handle nuts, so trace amounts may be present. 

• Beef Gelatine:

  The colourant E120, used in some brands, uses beef gelatine as a carrier, making these sweets unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans. Always check the packaging, as some manufacturers produce vegan-friendly versions.
