    "content_text": "Milk teeth are gum sweets shaped like teeth, with a strawberry and vanilla flavour. They are made by Barratt, and the joke is in the name: milk teeth are the baby teeth children lose, not teeth made of milk.\nWhat is in them\nBarratt Milk Teeth, as listed by Sweets and Candy. Sugar, glucose syrup, water, maize starch, beef gelatine, lactic acid, flavourings, and carmine and anthocyanins as colours. Open Food Facts records for Barratt's milk teeth packs list the same ingredients, and one photographed pack describes them as strawberry and vanilla flavour teeth shaped gums.\nNo milk inside\nDespite the name, the recipe lists no milk, cream or milk powder. The vanilla taste comes from flavourings. That makes milk teeth different from milk bottles, some recipes for which do contain milk: see milk bottle sweets and milk in sweets\nHow they are shaped\nGum sweets like milk teeth are shaped by pouring the hot mixture into tooth shaped hollows pressed into trays of starch. The sweets are left in drying rooms to set, then tipped out and cleaned: see how are gummy sweets shaped?\nDiet points\nGelatine. Milk teeth are set with beef gelatine, so they are not suitable for vegetarians or vegans, and beef gelatine is only halal if the cattle were slaughtered according to Islamic law: see gelatine in sweets explainedCarmine. The colour comes from carmine, a red made from insects, and from anthocyanins, plant pigments: see what is carmine?Other allergens. Sweets and Candy says its sweets are packed where wheat, gluten, soya, milk, peanuts and nuts are handled: see pick and mix and allergies\nTeeth cousins\nFor jelly teeth, see jelly teeth\nIn our pick and mix\nWe do not sell milk teeth, but we do sell SW010 and SW031. Each card opens up to show the full ingredients and allergens for the sweets we actually stock.",
