    "content_text": "Fizzy strawberry belts are long, flat strips of red sweet, flavoured with strawberry and coated in sugar sharpened with acid. Vidal, the sweet maker, sells them under the name Strawberry Belts, and the retailer The Sweet Store calls them one of its best sellers.\nWhat is in them\nThe Sweet Store lists the ingredients of Vidal's Strawberry Belts as:\nSugar and glucose fructose syrup, the main sweeteners.Wheat flour, which contains gluten.Citric and malic acids, for the sour taste: see what is malic acid in sweets?Palm fat, dextrose and corn starch: see palm oil in sweetsAscorbic acid, vitamin C, used as an antioxidant, and potassium citrates, an acidity regulator.Flavouring and salt.Carrot and blackcurrant concentrates, and the colour E120.\nFlour, not jelly\nLike rainbow sour belts, these are made with wheat flour rather than set with gelatine: see rainbow sour belts. That makes them different from jelly sweets such as gummy strawberries, and it means they contain wheat and gluten, so they are not suitable for anyone with coeliac disease or a wheat allergy: see wheat in sweets\nWhere the red comes from\nThe red comes partly from carrot and blackcurrant concentrates and partly from E120, carmine, a colour made from cochineal insects. Carmine is not suitable for vegans, many vegetarians avoid it, and it may cause allergies: see what is carmine?\nOther allergens\nThe Sweet Store warns that, because of the way its products are handled and made, all of them may contain nuts, peanuts, dairy, soya, gluten, mustard and other allergens: see pick and mix and allergies\nStrawberry cousins\nFor other strawberry sweets, see strawberries and cream sweets and how are strawberry laces made?\nIn our pick and mix\nWe sell SW022 by the 100 g. Recipes differ between makers, so the card opens up to show the full ingredients and allergens for the fizzy strawberry belts we actually stock.",
