Alas, like other humbugs, there are milk derivatives used in most Everton Mints and so vegans – even those who support Everton – should give them a miss. A favourite of grandparents in the 1980s, Glacier Mints were first produced by Leicester-based Fox’s in 1918. The company has changed hands a number of times in the last few decades, and is now owned by Valeo Foods under the Big Bear Confectionery banner. The mints themselves, though, have changed little over the years, and are fine for vegans to eat. 5. Mentos But whether you are a lover of Polos, Tic Tacs or even old school Everton Mints, you will probably want to know the answers to the question at hand: which mints are vegan? And indeed, which mints are not vegan? Not All Mints Are Vegan, But Plenty Are!

Non-Vegan Mints to Avoid Beeswax comes from bees, which are animals, and though it doesn’t necessarily kill them, acquiring beeswax could potentially harm them and certainly exploits them so, as with honey, beeswax is not vegan. It is used in some well-known mints, such as Mentos Mint Roll. Milk or Milk Derivatives The clue is in the name here; butter mints are generally made with butter, which comes from milk which comes from cows… so they are not vegan. Note that some butter mints may be vegan if made with vegan butter substitutes instead of dairy butter.

Though some might dispute whether Kendal Mint Cake should even be in the ‘mints’ category, we think it should, so it’s here as a bonus entry rather than as part of the Top 10. Another variant of humbugs and another that contains milk derivatives and hence are no good for vegans.For those who prefer their mints to be a little softer, you can’t really beat Softmints. They contain carnauba wax, but that is fine for vegans, as are the other ingredients. 3. Smints
