Wholesale Vegan Sweets
Demand for vegan sweets continues to grow, as more shoppers look for free-from confectionery that delivers on both flavour and variety. For products to be considered vegan, they must not contain any animal-derived ingredients or by-products. One of the most common ingredients replaced in vegan confectionery is gelatine, which is traditionally used to create chewy textures. Instead, many vegan recipes use plant-based alternatives such as agar-agar, allowing manufacturers to create the same great texture without compromising on taste or quality.
At Hancocks, we stock an extensive range of vegan sweets UK retailers can rely on, helping independent businesses cater to changing customer demand with confidence. From fizzy favourites and gummy sweets to lollipops, liquid candy and vegan pick n mix staples, our range of vegan sweets wholesale lines makes it easy to build a free-from offering that still feels exciting, colourful and indulgent.
Vegan & Vegetarian Sweets Explained
While vegan and vegetarian confectionery are often grouped, there are important differences between the two. Vegetarian sweets may still contain dairy products or ingredients such as beeswax, but they are not always suitable for vegan diets. That’s why it’s important for retailers to clearly understand the products they stock and provide shoppers with suitable choices.
Across the Hancocks range, you’ll find a huge selection of clearly labelled bulk vegan sweets, helping you quickly identify products suitable for vegan customers. While many sweets are gelatine-free, this alone does not necessarily make them vegan, so checking recipes and product labelling remains essential when building your range.
Vegan Sweet Brands Shoppers Love
There are now more brands producing vegan sweet ranges than ever before, giving retailers access to an exciting and fast-growing category. Popular products such as Rowntree’s Jelly Tots, Swizzels Drumsticks, Refreshers and Millions continue to prove that vegan-friendly confectionery can still offer the nostalgic flavours and textures customers know and love.
Alongside these established favourites, brands such as BUBS and Candy Kittens have helped redefine modern vegan confectionery. Known for their bold flavours, eye-catching colours and premium appeal, these sweets are ideal for retailers looking to expand their free-from offering with products that stand out on shelves and within pick n mix displays.
Our own Kingsway vegan sweets range also continues to grow, offering retailers even more choice within the hugely popular pick n mix category. With vegan-friendly fizzy, gummy and jelly sweets available across a wide range of shapes and flavours, Kingsway helps businesses create inclusive displays without sacrificing variety or customer appeal.
