Stonkin Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Ive just got a pack of jelly sweets from the charity sweet box in reception. I noticed on the ingredients list it says carnauba wax Why would this be in jelly sweets??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkin Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 In foods, it is used as a formulation aid, lubricant, release agent, anticaking agent, and surface finishing agent in baked foods and mixes, chewing gum, confections, frostings, fresh fruits and juices, gravies, sauces, processed fruits and juices, soft sweets, Tic Tacs and Altoids. hmmm Have seen it in lots of things you wouldnt expect such as makeup (not mine!) dental floss etc, but never in sweets. Learnt something today We must have been reading that same page Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
