Jelly cola bottles 300g

Jelly cola bottles are chewy, traditional, bottle-shaped candies with a classic cola flavour and often a distinct jelly filling. While the specific ingredients vary by brand, key components typically include glucose syrup, sugar, and gelatin (for non-vegan versions). They also contain acids (like citric acid), flavourings, caramel colours (like E150d), and glazing agents (such as beeswax and carnauba wax) to give them their characteristic appearance and texture. 

Description

• Shape & Flavour: These sweets are shaped like small glass bottles and have a strong, distinctive cola flavour. 

• Texture: They are a jelly-like sweet, with a chewy exterior that often encloses a soft, juicy jelly filling, providing a "double texture" experience. 

• Appearance: They are typically a dark brown colour, resembling their namesake. 

Common Ingredients

• Sweeteners: Glucose syrup and sugar provide the sweetness. 

• Jelling Agent: Gelatin is commonly used to create the chewy, jelly-like texture. 

• Acids: Citric acid is often included for a tangy element. 

• Flavouring: "Flavouring" refers to the concentrate that gives them their cola taste. 

• Colouring: Caramelised sugar syrup (E150d) provides the characteristic brown colour. 

• Glazing Agents: Beeswax and carnauba wax are used to give the sweets a smooth, shiny finish. 

• Other Ingredients (Vary by Brand): Some variations may include humectants (like sorbitol), corn starch, invert sugar syrup, pectins, sodium citrates, and vegetable oils. 

Allergen Information

• Due to the presence of gelatin and potential cross-contamination during packing, these sweets often contain or are packed in facilities that handle allergens like milk, gluten, soya, nuts, and peanuts. 

• Vegan versions are available and use plant-based alternatives to gelatin.
