Are these foods vegan?
I want to order some american food/drinks off the net (I live in the UK, where it's difficult to find sweet vegan foods, unless you make your own) I've heard the following stuff's vegan-friendly, but could anyone verify?
-Swedish Fish
-Jolly Ranchers
-Kool-aid
-Mountain Dew
-Nutter Butter cookies
-Un-frosted pop tarts
-Cinnamon trident gum
-Smuckers peanut butter with grape jelly
-Sour patch kids
-Mary jane peanut chews
-Airheads taffy
It'd be great if you could tell me if i'm wrong, and this stuff has gelatin or something in, or, if only certain flavours are vegan. As the website doesn't have ingredients listened or say anything about being suitable for vegetarians/or not.
Thankyou x
They don't sell this stuff in shops in England, hence buying it online.
...I've been vegan for 3 years, I can read labels.

What you talking about! I live in the UK and there is loads to eat! I have 3 kids, do you think they never get chocolate!! lol.
Ok visit Suma http://www.suma.coop/ they provide loads of small retailers with vegan foods including sweets and chocolate.
In my local Tesco there are several dairy free/vegan chocolates, also check some of the normal dark chocolate, some of those are dairy free too.
Basically I hate to burst your bubble but you are going to have to get used to reading labels, even with brands you know, because they can change ingredients and not tell you on the front in big letters.
Some common things to look out for in chocolate and sweets are Whey, lactose, milk powder, milk protein, casein, shellac, gelatin.
When you go into your local supermarket head for the whole foods/ free from isle and you find lots of dairy free and vegan things :)
EDIT: Well thats super, but you said you had trouble finding sweet food in the UK. so I answered that I don't, sorry :P If you want THOSE specific foods that you need to get from the US I would check their labels online,

Jolly ranchers are probably ok. I would go to the store and look at the labels if you haven't already. It might be more help than the internet.
