how do i tell what a sweet contains?
We try to check all of the sweets on A Quarter Of... to see if the the manufacturer has given any information about whether or not the product contains nuts.
Where there is such information we have reproduced it on the website. The statement that a sweet contains nuts, may contain traces of nuts or the lack of any statement is a reflection of the status of the sweet to the best of our knowledge and should be treated as such.
As a result of the manufacturing processes involved in sweet production, the fact that we have to change suppliers from time to time in order to provide a constant supply of sweets and the fact that some of the items that we use in the shop may be used for several sweets (e.g. the scales that we use) it is impossible for us to state absolutely that any sweet is guaranteed 100% free of any traces of nut.
We have provided the information about nuts as a service to our customers - as an improvement on having no such information on the site. We will recheck ingredient listings periodically but, as a result of manufacturers changing ingredients or in case that we need to to source sweets made by an alternative manufacturer for supply reasons, the nuts information shown on the site should be viewed as "correct to the best of our knowledge" - whilst we do our best to ensure that it is correct we can not guarantee that this will be the case 100% of the time.
An example is below,
