Fruit Salad (confectionery)

Fruit Salad is a popular type of chewy confectionery, typically found in mixed bags of sweets. It is characterized by its distinct raspberry and pineapple flavour combination. The sweets are generally small, rectangular, and often have a bright, eye-catching appearance due to artificial colourings.

The ingredients of Fruit Salad sweets commonly include glucose syrup, sugar, vegetable oils, modified starch, citric acid, beef gelatin, emulsifiers, and flavourings. The exact recipe and proportions may vary slightly between different manufacturers. The artificial colourings used give the sweets their characteristic pink and yellow hues.

Fruit Salad sweets have been a staple in British and Commonwealth confectionery assortments for several decades. Their unique flavour and chewy texture contribute to their enduring popularity with consumers of all ages. They are often sold in bulk, in individual packets, and as part of larger mixed confectionery selections.
