Buying sweets online might seem straightforward, but product photos and cheerful brand names don’t tell you everything. A large bag of sweets may contain fewer portions than you expect, a fruit-flavoured product isn’t automatically suitable for a vegetarian diet, and a sour strip could contain wheat. With a few checks, you can avoid a bad purchase and choose more wisely between gummies, wine gums, liquorice laces and foam sweets.
Don’t just look at the weight in grams – also check the content per portion. The Autodrop Cadillacs 200g, for example, contains 10 portions of 20g. The Autodrop Forest Fruit Red Cadillacs 280g states roughly 11 portions of 25g. This helps you judge whether a pack is meant for individual snacking or for sharing.
For a party bag of sweets, small individual packs can be more practical than one big bag. The Look-O-Look Top Mix contains 10 small portion packs of liquorice laces and sour strips. That makes handing them out much easier and limits how often an opened bag gets passed around.
Fruit sweets, gummies and wine gums can contain gelatine, wheat or other allergens. The colour and flavour of a sweet also don’t tell you whether it’s suitable for vegans or vegetarians. Always check the ingredients list and allergen information on the product page and on the packaging.
A product may be listed as gluten-free according to the product information, while a similar variant with the same fruit flavour contains wheat. The Look-O-Look Sour Mats Strawberry, for example, contain wheat flour and are therefore not suitable for anyone avoiding gluten. The Lutti Longfizz and Lutti Scoubidou also contain wheat, even though the product information states they are vegetarian.
Sour strips and sour liquorice laces combine fruit flavours with food acids and a sour coating. The intensity varies from product to product. If you’re mainly after soft, sweet sweets, you’re often better off with foam sweets or soft wine gums. If you prefer variety, you can choose a sweet mix that includes both sweet and sour elements.
Always store opened sweets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal the pack properly to prevent drying out, sticking and loss of quality from moisture.
For a sweet jar at home, packs of around 180g to 300g are practical. For a treat or party, individual portion packs are easier to hand out. For personal snacking, a bag of 80g to 125g can be enough – for example, Bebeto J Mix 80g or Look-O-Look Dynamite Stick Strawberry 110g.
Also consider the shape:
If you’re looking for vegan sweets, vegetarian sweets or gluten-free sweets, you need to check the exact variant. “Vegetarian” doesn’t automatically mean vegan: a product may contain no animal gelatine but still include other ingredients of animal origin. The Lutti Scoubidou and Lutti Longfizz are labelled as vegetarian, but both contain wheat.
The Autodrop Cadillacs 200g are listed as vegan and gluten-free according to the product information. The Autodrop Forest Fruit Red Cadillacs, on the other hand, contain pork gelatine. The Autodrop Sweet and Sour Cadillacs and Autodrop Foamed Cadillacs also list pork gelatine. If you have an allergy or follow a strict diet, always check the current packaging – recipes and labels can change.
Sweets generally contain a lot of carbohydrates and sugar. The nutritional values per 100g help you compare different options fairly, but they don’t automatically make a product suitable or unsuitable for a particular diet. Look-O-Look FoamMies Mix, for example, lists 341 kcal and 59g of sugar per 100g. Look-O-Look Sour Mats Strawberry lists 368 kcal and 62g of sugar per 100g.
Use this information mainly to manage your portions. A smaller pack or a product with individual portions can help you avoid eating the whole bag without realising it.

We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
Check the allergen information on the product page and packaging. Look for a clear mention of gluten-containing grains, such as wheat. A fruit flavour or brand name is no guarantee that a product is gluten-free.
Choose a pack with a clear weight, multiple flavours or individual portions. Autodrop packs with portion information and the Look-O-Look Top Mix are practical for a family evening, treat or party. Check beforehand that all allergens present are suitable for the group.
Store sweets sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and away from heat and moisture. Also check the best-before information on the packaging. Do not use an opened bag if the packaging is damaged or if the sweets have clearly changed in smell, colour or texture.
