Frequently asked questions

Please see the individual product pages for ingredients.
None of the ingredients we use in our chocolate products contain any of the 14 major food allergens (cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk, nuts, celery (including celeriac), mustard, sesame, sulphur dioxide/sulphites, lupin or molluscs). All our ingredient suppliers are BRC or equivalent certified and supply ingredients to us as free from all 14 major food allergens with accompanying specifications confirming this. The factory where our chocolate products are made, which is BRC AA certified, very occasionally handles some of these allergens however strict protocols are used for allergen segregation and line cleaning as set out within BRC guidelines (annually audited). If you or your child has a severe food allergy we would recommend that you do not consume our chocolate range as your safety is our first priority. Our non chocolate Syrups are made in a SALSA accredited factory which does not handle any of the 14 major food allergens. We take our customers’ health extremely seriously and will continue doing our utmost to behave responsibly regarding allergens.

No, we do not use palm oil in ANY of our products.

Yes, we only use Fairtrade Cocoa.

Yes, all our products are registered with the Vegan Society.

Our rapeseed oil is GMO free (all our products and ingredients are).

We do not add any sugar to our products. They only contain the sugars that are naturally occurring in the three fruits we use to sweeten; apples, carob (and grape in our Fruit Syrup). The only products that are ‘sugar free’ and contain no calories are chemically derived artificial sweeteners which have many negative health implications, including killing the vital good bacteria in your gut. They have also been shown to increase appetite. Our syrups have a low GI (glycaemic index) and therefore less of an effect on blood sugar levels than refined sugar. Our many customers with diabetes who use our products successfully are our best advocates, you can read many reviews on our website.

Yes, Fruit Syrup is made from 100% fruit with nothing added and is produced using no chemicals or enzymes.

This can happen due to the natural fruit sugars in the product but it will not affect the product’s quality or taste.

All our products are sweetened only with fruit and contain only the naturally occurring sugars in the fruits used; apples, carob and (in our Fruit Syrup) grapes. The combination of these means they have less of an effect on blood sugar levels than table sugar. We have many customers with diabetes who use our products successfully – see reviews.  Deborah's (one of the founders) husband has diabetes. We do advise that you consume sparingly and talk to your health professional regarding any changes in diet of course.

Our products are not certified Kosher.

We cannot guarantee to be able to obtain all ingredients that are ‘certified’ organic and so although we do not state our products are organic we are extremely pedantic with our sourcing.
