Swizzels Squashies Drumstick Original are soft and chewy gums with a raspberry and milk flavour, made from ingredients including glucose syrup, sugar, gelling agent (gelatine), modified starch, acidity regulators (citric acid and trisodium citrate), flavourings, apple pulp (which contains preservative Sulphur Dioxide), glazing agents (vegetable oils and carnauba wax), and a colour (anthocyanin). The product’s main allergen is Sulphur Dioxide/Sulphites present in the apple pulp. It also contains gelatine, which makes it unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans. Despite the “milk” in the flavour name, no dairy ingredients are used, and the flavour is derived from flavourings. However, the manufacturer, Swizzels, and some retailers warn that the product is made in a facility that also handles common allergens like nuts, peanuts, and milk, so cross-contamination is a potential risk for those with severe allergies.
