Rowntree's Randoms Foamies Pouch, 140g

Product Information

Nestlé’s confectionery team in York have welcomed a new addition of its ever popular Rowntree’s Randoms brand as it continues to grow in the fruit sugar confectionery sector. In other words, the company will begin to invest its profits into creating more vegan products, which may entice non-vegan consumers to eat vegan products, reducing animal suffering on a broader scale.

Rowntree's Brand Manager Meg Miller said: “This one is for the Rowntree's Randoms superfans. They told us, we’ve listened and we’ve given them a whole sharing bag of Juicers to enjoy with their friends and family. Our Randoms Juicers come in two flavours, each soft fruity jelly is filled with a jammy liquid centre and comes in and loads of fun shapes.” The new 140g sharing bags of Rowntree’s Randoms Squish’ems and Sours go on sale this week in all major retailers in the UK while Rowntree’s Randoms Foamies are exclusive to Tesco. The limited edition 150g Rowntree’s Randoms Easter Mix is exclusive to Asda for the Easter season.

According to Nestlé, Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles are safe for a gluten-free diet, however, some consumers have claimed to have gotten ill from a gluten reaction.

According to Rowntree’s brand manager, there were plenty of requests over the years for vegan products:In developing the new formulation, we were very conscious of our responsibility as custodians of this much-loved brand and its long history. Through this recipe change, we’ve made the sweets slightly softer, which we know has been a market trend for several years. However, our priority was to preserve the fabulously fruity chew that has made Fruit Pastilles a classic for almost a century and a half.” No, they are not gluten-free. I’ve tried these and gotten ill with a gluten reaction. Rowntree lists them as containing gluten but below codex level, which means the start and/or the glucose syrup are from a wheat source. Based on the reaction I had, I do not believe they even meet the codex requirement.” Hannah Smithson, assistant brand manager for Rowntree’s said: “ We are so excited to announce all of this new news for Rowntree’s Randoms’. There is truly something for everyone in the new range whether you prefer the jelly Squish’ems, the foamy sweets or something a little more on the sour side​. Even though the three products Rowntree’s has launched are vegan, there are still some vegans who aren’t too receptive to the idea of consuming products from a company like Nestlé which has an unethical footprint. Should we buy from companies like Nestlé? We’ve been working very hard to make this year the best yet for Randoms and are delighted to introduce new shapes, tastes, textures and flavours that all our consumers will absolutely love!”
