    "content_text": "Jelly teeth are novelty sweets moulded in the shape of a set of teeth, often white teeth on pink or red gums. They are often sold alongside jelly lips, and some makers produce whole jelly dentures. Novelty shapes like these are a mainstay of pick and mix and party bags.\nWhat is in them\nRecipes vary from maker to maker, but jelly teeth are built from the same basic ingredients as other gummy sweets: see what is in a jelly sweet?\nAs one example, the sweet maker Vidal describes its Teeth and Lips as foam and gummy sweets. A UK retailer, The Candy King, lists their ingredients as:\nGlucose syrup and sugar, the main sweeteners: see what is glucose syrup?Fruit juice from concentrate, from grape, pear, pineapple and peach.Gelatine, which gives the chewy set: see gelatine in sweets explainedSorbitol, a humectant that helps keep the sweets moist.Corn starch and pectin, which help set and shape them: see pectin sweets explainedCitric acid and natural flavourings: see what is citric acid in sweets?Blackcurrant and carrot concentrates, for colour: see natural colours in sweetsCoconut and palm kernel oil, and carnauba wax, a glazing agent that stops the sweets sticking together: see what is carnauba wax on sweets?\nThe Candy King marks these as gluten free.\nFoam on jelly\nSome jelly teeth combine two textures, like Vidal's foam and gummy sweets. Foam is made by whipping air into the sweet mixture, and two layer sweets are made by depositing one mixture on top of another in the mould, as with fried egg sweets: see what are foam sweets made of? and how are fried egg sweets made?\nGelatine and diet\nJelly teeth set with gelatine, which is made from animal skin, bones and connective tissue, are not suitable for vegetarians or vegans, and not halal or kosher unless the gelatine comes from a suitable source. If you avoid gelatine, look for sweets set with pectin or starch instead: see what sweets are gelatine free?\nIn our pick and mix\nWe sell SW010 by the 100 g. Recipes differ between makers, so the card opens up to show the full ingredients and allergens for the jelly teeth we actually stock.",
