Smarties

Smarties are a type of chocolate pastilles of Nestlé. They came in 1937 for the first time on the market. In the 1970s, a similar competition from Smarties Bonitos got candy.Bonitos later became, along with the M & M's peanut Treets, renamed variant. M & M is currently the major competitor for Smarties, but there are daily worldwide 570,000 tubes smarties produced.

On May 10, 2006, it was announced that the blue is taken from the smartievariant production. This is because the blue smartie with an artificial dye was animated that hyperactivity and aggression may arouse in children who are sensitive. Since February 2008, the blue Smarties, with natural dye, back in production. ==Animal ingredients[ Edit] == Nestlé used until 2010 Carmine acid (E120) to the smarties to colors. Carmine acid is extracted from scale, and thereby were smarties not suitable for vegetarians and they were not kosher. Nowadays, however, use plant sources such as red cabbage, radish and lemon.
