Do you have clearance items?
We have a clearance section on our website where you will find items such as Damaged, past their best before dates, deleted lines, etc.
We always keep a very close eye on items past their best before dates to make sure they are still fresh and edible. Anything that does not meet these standards will not be sold under our clearance section. We need to make sure we are still selling safe products.
Most manufacturers will put a Best Before date many months before any loss of product freshness is noticeable as they want you to be eating their product at its optimum quality.
​
Where can i find Ingredients lists and Nutritional info on products you stock?
Each of our product pages has all of this information. If it isn't stated on their it will be in photo form for you to look at on that same page.
If any of our products don't have this information please let us know.
​
Do you have lollies that are Gluten Free?
We do carry a lot of lollies that are stated on the packaging as Gluten Free but we are not set up to be able to pack these lollies separately in their own sterile packing environment and all of them are packed alongside other items which are not Gluten Free.
If you would still like to purchase products that were originally labelled Gluten Free (before entering our packing facility) and don't mind that they are packaged alongside other products, please review our ingredients and nutritional information on each product page.

We get asked this question a lot. Below are some pictures to show you what 100g looks like. 100g does vary depending on size/weight etc of the lolly.
