Confectionery & desserts

Sweets look simple until gelatin, carmine, mono- and diglycerides, whey, or liquor flavourings show up. Browse chocolates, candies, ice cream, and bakery desserts with those common risk points in mind.

Scan for gelatin, carmine/cochineal, animal-based emulsifiers, and alcohol-named flavours. Brand pages help when formulas change by country—always prefer the local ingredient list or Halal mark.
