What type of gelatine do your sweets contain? What is the origin of the gelatine?

Thank you for your query and your interest in our LUTTI sweets.

If you see gelatine in the list of ingredients you can always assume it comes from pigs. This has been the case for years. We have never changed the type of gelatine used in our products. (A large proportion of Lutti sweets contain gelatine, which means they are not halal.)

Are Lutti sweets halal?

Thank you for your query and your interest in our LUTTI sweets.

If you see gelatine in the list of ingredients you can always assume it comes from pigs. Pigs are not halal. Some Lutti sweets contain gelatine, which means they are not halal. As well as gelatine, our sweets can also contain other ingredients that are not suitable for practising members of some faiths. These include: Carmine (E120) / Shellac (E904) / Beeswax (E901).

Check the list of ingredients on the packaging.

Our products are not halal-certified.

Are Lutti sweets suitable for vegetarians?

Thank you for your query and your interest in our LUTTI sweets.

Many Lutti sweets are suitable for vegetarians but some contain gelatine and these are not suitable for vegetarians.

If you see gelatine in the list of ingredients you can always assume it comes from pigs. A proportion of Lutti sweets contain gelatine from animal sources, which means they are not suitable for vegetarians.

As well as gelatine, our sweets can also contain other ingredients that are not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. These include: Carmine (red colouring agent) E120 / Shellac (lubricant) E904 / Beeswax (lubricant) E901

Are Lutti sweets lactose-free.

Thank you for your query and your interest in our LUTTI sweets.

Most Lutti sweets do not contain dairy ingredients, so people who are sensitive to dairy products can consume them without any adverse effects.

Check the list of ingredients on the packaging.

Do your sweets contain gluten?

Thank you for your query and your interest in our LUTTI sweets.

Most Lutti sweets are gluten-free but some sweets do contain certain starches, which means they are not suitable for a gluten-free diet.

Check the list of ingredients on the packaging.

Important! Some sweets that contain wheat starch are made of starch/gluten but, as the gluten content in the end product is less than 20 parts per million they can be marketed as gluten-free.

Gluten content of up to 20 parts per million can be marketed as gluten-free. Studies show that people with celiac disease are able to consume products with a gluten content less than 20 parts per million without any adverse effects.

Is the chocolate-flavoured Ohlala Lutti still being sold? Or will you be bringing it back onto the market.

Thank you for your interest. We are delighted to hear you are such a loyal Lutti Ohlala fan.

Unfortunately Ohlala Chocolate was taken out of our range around ten years ago.

We are looking at ways to bring back a chocolate Ohlala, as you’re far from the only one who misses them.

I didn’t find my favourite sweet was in the Lutti bag. Or there were very few in any case. Why’s that?

Thank you for your query and your interest in our LUTTI sweets.

The precise contents of individual bags can vary and, in exceptional circumstances, a specific sweet may be completely missing.

Our line operators do their best to ensure that there’s something for every taste in every bag.

Are the Lutti noses/cuberdons still being sold?

Thank you for your interest. We are delighted to hear you are such a loyal Lutti fan.

Unfortunately we no longer make Lutti noses/cuberdons.

I’ve found an unusual Lutti sweet or piece I’ve never seen before. Why’s that? Is it a risk to health?

Thank you for your query and your interest in our LUTTI sweets.

You’re far from the only one to find unusually formed sweets in your Lutti bag. During the production process, the sweets are sprayed into moulds. During our checks we can always miss the odd unusually formed sweet that was not completely finished. We’re doing everything we can to minimise this. They do not constitute any risk to human health.
