Product Information

So I guess it is sort of a horror story, depending on how you feel/felt about attending elementary school. lt;p>For allergens, including cereals containing gluten, see ingredients in&nbsp;<strong>BOLD</strong></p> Many vegans voiced their frustration at the brand for the change, including some who said it 'made no sense at all' or was 'lunacy' as they claimed there are vegan-friendly versions of the vitamin.

But Vimto are using Vitamin D3, the majority of which comes from animal products, and it tends to be sheep wool. However, some of their other products remain suitable for those looking to avoid food with animal products, including Vimto jellybeans, Vimto bon bons and Vimto ice lollies. Lately, I have been noticing a sharp decline in the number of children out and about my neighborhood during the day. While that might seem the beginning of a horror story, it is simply a sign that summer vacation has come to an end and schools have once again stretched open their ravenous maws to devour the childhood of every available youth.Well, as we explain in more detail in our feature explaining why many popular breakfast cereals are not vegan friendly, much vitamin D is made using lanolin. There are vegan vitamin D supplements available but it is cheaper to produce this essential vitamin using lanolin which, for those unaware, is a grease obtained from the wool of sheep. A small range of our Vimto confectionery products do contain animal derivatives, and therefore may be unsuitable for vegetarians and vegan diets, these include:

If all of the above is far too much reading for you then here is what you really need to know in its simplest, shortest form: Anyhow, the text is nice and clear, even if the surrounding box is a tad oversized (it reminds me of people who've lost a significant amount of weight and then pose in their "fat pants"). Or maybe it's intentional and meant to provide a small area for doodling, reinforcing the "pencil" theme (since the product appearance does nothing in that regard). I left mine blank, just in case. Vitamin D is primarily produced in our skin when it is exposed to sunlight and, well, the UK just isn’t very sunny. That is especially the case during the autumn and winter months, whilst with many of us leading a more sedentary lifestyle and getting outside less and covering most of our skin when we do venture out, it may also be an issue year-round for many people.

You've literally just lost thousands of vegan customers. Why not a vegan vitamin source? Why change it at all? Why involve animals? #vegan #vegans" There has been a petition to encourage Vimto to revert to a vegan formula, be that using vitamin D2, which is vegan, or without the addition of vitamin D at all Another user @wendytamm tweeted: "I love Vimto; I was brought up on it. But now I can no longer buy it because of the Vitamin D thing. These groups usually give out advice about what food products are vegan friendly and just try to make things easier for everybody in the community."

As is often the case, I would be wrong (and I should have known better; candy manufacturers will look ANYWHERE for inspiration), because today's review is all about Vimto Mini Fizzy Pencils! Many of their sweets, jellies and related confectionary contains animal derivatives and are not suitable for vegans or vegetariansWhat, though, has this got to do with Vimto? Well, in response to a clearer recommendation from Public Health England (PHE) about vitamin D, the drink’s makers took the decision to supplement their core product with the micronutrient. Of course, at this stage, some vegans and certainly many non-vegans may still be wondering what this has to do with eating a 100% plant-based diet. Ian, from Lochgilphead, Argyll, Scotland, said: "I think it's a good thing that Vimto has Vitamin D in it - it's something that we need, especially in Northern Europe. Whilst this point is not debatable, some vegans may not feel too concerned about a tiny quantity of wool-derived lanolin being used to produce an even smaller amount of vitamin D. Afterall, PHE recommends that we consider supplements of this essential nutrient and as we explain when looking at vaccines, we feel that putting human health first is acceptable under the “as far as is possible and practicable” part of the official definition of veganism. The "Best Before" section gives only the month, but also includes the batch number and mass of the product. I had slightly missed the date (woe is me!), but, as this review has been delayed in its release, it's not as bad as it seems, and I would certainly not expect my error to be enough to compromise the candy's quality.
