Vegetarianism, unlike veganism, permits the consumption of animal by-products as long as they don’t involve the direct killing of the animal. Thus, ingredients like milk, eggs, honey, and, in many cases, gelatin are considered vegetarian. Consequently, although the Refreshers Squashies contain gelatin, they are considered suitable for a vegetarian diet.

If you’ve ever been curious about how these treats achieve that unique chewiness, you might be surprised to know the answer lies in an age-old ingredient: gelatine. Gelatine has been used for centuries in food production for its gelling properties. It’s made by boiling the bones, skin, and connective tissues of animals, typically cows or pigs.

Dining Out

Closing date for entry to the Squashies Summer Squashathon competition is Tuesday 31 st August 2021. Gelatine, as mentioned earlier, is an animal-derived product. Specifically, the gelatine used in Squashies is derived from pork. Many vegan alternatives to gelatine are available in the market, like agar-agar or pectin, but as of now, the manufacturers of Squashies opt for pork gelatine.
