Is Rowntree’s legit?

Legit

Fruit Pastilles, Fruit Gums and Jelly Tots come from Rowntree's, a real British sweets brand now made by Nestlé, but the bags are not all alike when it comes to diet. The core range uses no gelatine and suits vegans, whereas Randoms and Squidgers contain pork gelatine, which is easy to miss.

What we checked

  • Sweets brand dating from 1881
  • Maker's head office in York

Watch out for

  • Randoms that come out crystallised, gritty or rock hard well before the best-before date.
  • Something in a pack that should not be there, with the wrapper and its batch code already thrown away.
  • Rowntree's ice lollies that look as if they thawed and refroze before you bought them.

Rowntree's sweets hard straight out of the bag?

We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Rowntree’s as a formal letter.

Common customer service questions about Rowntree’s

How do I file a complaint about Rowntree's?

Do you have a dispute or a bad customer experience with Rowntree's? Report it through our website to maximize the chance of getting it resolved.

We help you write an effective complaint in minutes. Our AI models are trained on thousands of effective complaint letters. Then we push it through emails, social media, paper complaint letters and other tools at our disposal. And you are not alone: our helpful community is there for advice.

How do I contact Rowntree's customer service?

Rowntree's customer service is Nestlé UK Consumer Services, the company that makes Rowntree's in the UK, on 0800 00 00 30 or through the get in touch page on the Nestlé UK website. Have the pack in front of you: consumer care usually asks for the product and size, the best-before date and batch code, and where and when you bought it. Keep the pack and the sweets left in it until the matter is settled.

Sweets not as they should be? Bring the complaint here alongside the call, and we push it out to Nestlé UK by email, social media and printed letters.

What should I do if there is something wrong with my Rowntree's sweets?

If a bag of Rowntree's sweets is hard, stale or stuck together, a tube or bag seems short, or you find something in it that should not be there, keep the pack and what is left in it. Photograph the sweets, anything you found, and the best-before date and batch code, and seal the rest. For Rowntree's ice lollies, note whether the box looked frosted or the lollies had melted and refrozen, and keep the box. Then report it to Nestlé UK Consumer Services on 0800 00 00 30, quoting those codes, the shop and the date of purchase.

Found something in the bag that should not be there? We help you write the complaint in minutes through our complaint process, with the photos and the codes set out clearly.

Are Rowntree's sweets vegan?

Rowntree's says its core range, Fruit Pastilles, Fruit Gums, Pick & Mix and Jelly Tots, is vegan friendly, while some products, such as Randoms and Squidgers, contain pork gelatine. Recipes can change, so check the ingredients panel on the pack you are buying rather than relying on an older one. If a pack labelled vegan turns out to contain an animal ingredient, or you had a reaction to something not shown on the label, keep the pack with its best-before date and batch code and report it to Nestlé UK Consumer Services on 0800 00 00 30.

Bought a pack that did not match its label? Open a case with us: our trained AI keeps coaching you on what to send Nestlé UK and when to push again.

How do I get a refund for faulty Rowntree's sweets?

For faulty Rowntree's sweets or lollies bought in the UK, the shop that sold them is responsible under the Consumer Rights Act for goods that are not of satisfactory quality, so take the receipt and the pack back there and ask for a refund or a replacement. You can also report the fault to Nestlé UK Consumer Services on 0800 00 00 30 with the product, the best-before date, the batch code and where you bought it, and ask what it can offer. Keep the receipt and the packaging until the matter is settled.
