Seaweed Allows Blue Smarties Comeback
Blue Smarties are to make a comeback, after being dropped nearly two years ago, and will now be made with a new colouring extracted from seaweed.
The blue sweets were first introduced in 1989 - and discontinued in 2006 as part of a drive to remove artificial ingredients in children’s food.
Makers Nestle say the new colouring comes from a seaweed called spirulina.
The firm says the other seven colours in the packs also have no artificial colours and flavourings.
