Most gummies and marshmallows contain gelatine, but our shop also has freeze-dried sweets without gelatine. Below is a list based on the ingredients printed on the packs, with the main allergens.
Freeze-dried sweets with no gelatine in the ingredients ✅
| Product | Milk | Eggs | Gluten |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skittles (Original, Sour, Wild Berry, Tropical) | not listed | not listed | not listed |
| Rainbow nachos (Fruit Roll-Up) | not listed | not listed | not listed |
| Milky Way | yes | yes | yes (barley) |
| Snickers | yes | yes | not listed |
| Twix | yes | not listed | yes (wheat) |
| Riesen | yes | not listed | not listed |
| Toffee with Milka chocolate | yes | not listed | not listed |
| Giant caramel wafer | yes | yes | yes (wheat, barley) |
“Not listed” refers to the ingredient list, not a guarantee that an allergen or its traces are absent. For allergies, check the full label on the specific bag. Wafer ice cream is excluded from the table because the current description lacks the full wafer ingredients. The ice cream ingredients alone cannot establish the composition of the whole product.
The table shows ingredients, not traces. The bars, Riesen, toffee and wafer may contain traces of nuts, and Snickers contains peanuts. All the bars, Riesen and the toffee also contain soy.
Skittles and rainbow nachos
These are the only products on the list with neither milk nor eggs in the ingredients. Skittles are sugar, glucose syrup, palm fat, acids, starch and colours. Rainbow nachos are freeze-dried Fruit Roll-Up sheets made from corn syrup, sugar and pear purée. They contain the colours E129, E102 and E110, which may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children. We describe all the Skittles flavours in our post on freeze-dried Skittles.
Bars and caramel
Milky Way, Snickers, Twix, Riesen and Milka toffee have no gelatine, but all of them contain milk. We compare them in our posts Snickers, Twix or Milky Way and caramel after freeze-drying.
Freeze-dried sweets with gelatine ❌
- all gummies, including the rings,
- Fritt chews, including the limited editions,
- Maoam Kracher,
- Nerds,
- marshmallows.
Some of these packs state where the gelatine comes from. The sour gummy worms and the marshmallows contain pork gelatine. The rainbow bears, colourful sharks, rainbow flowers, cherries, and the apple and peach rings contain beef gelatine. For the other products the source isn't stated.
Gelatine-free doesn't mean vegan 🥛
No gelatin does not mean no milk, eggs or other animal-derived ingredients. Bars, Riesen, toffee and the wafer contain milk. For a particular diet, check the full ingredients and label information. This list is not vegan certification.
A gift for someone who doesn't eat gelatine 🎁
A Mystery Box isn't a good choice, because its contents are random and may include gummies. It's better to pick a few specific products from the list above, for example two Skittles flavours and one bar.
Frequently asked questions ❓
Does freeze-drying remove gelatine?
No. Freeze-drying only removes water. All the ingredients, gelatine included, stay in the product.
Do you have gummies without gelatine?
Not at the moment. All our gummies contain gelatine.
Do Skittles contain gelatine?
Our freeze-dried Skittles don't. None of the four flavours has gelatine in its ingredients.
