Hey, I was just wondering if people could tell me if Nerds (wonka) are vegan. To answer any variables, I am a strict vegan, no gelatin or whey or anything like that. Nothing living (well, excluding plants.). So please help me with this. Thanks.

Last I heard there were two vegan flavors (I don't remember which) but the rest have carmine. You can probably call or e-mail Wonka and ask them about their ingredients. Most companies are pretty good about answering (they have to be these days, since food allergies are such a sensitive topic.)

Hey, PETA & PETA 2 has a list of foods that are accidentally vegan. They make a disclaimer that they do accept minute amounts of animal product, meaning if it's 99.9% pure they find it acceptable because it still sends a message to manufacturers that animal products are unacceptable. For more info about ingredients go to caringconsumer.com

Nerds have carmine in them. I'm unsure if it's only in the red ones, or if it's all of them though.

im pretty sure they have carmine in them. but i dont eat them anyway. im a strict veg 2. also skittles, marshmallows, poptarts have gelatin in them. i have never had skittles in my life and dont really plan on it either. nerds and skittles look lot like mini balls of colored sugar if u ask me.

Nope, they have carmine. I saw one that doesn't have carmine, but does have confectioner's glaze with it, and that's typically made from insect secretions.
