Are Wagon Wheels Vegan?
3min read
Sometimes the best nostalgia trips take place when we eat foods from our childhood, but it’s surprising how many of our favourite snacks growing up aren’t vegan. Keep reading to discover if Wagon Wheels have a place in your plant-based life.
What are Wagon Wheels?
Wagon Wheels are British and Australian chocolate, cake, jam and marshmallow confectionery that has been around since the 1940s. They’re named after the Wild West and that their shape resembles a wagon’s large wheels.
Are Wagon wheels Vegan?
No, unfortunately, Wagon Wheels that you can buy from the shop aren’t suitable for vegans as they contain gelatin that allows the marshmallow to become firm and the chocolate coating includes milk.
Are wagon wheels vegetarian?
The gelatin used also means that Wagon Wheels aren’t suitable for vegetarians either.
