Are Kinnerton products available by mail order?

Unfortunately we do not have the facility to supply members of the public with products directly. Visit the stockist page on this website to find out where you can currently buy Kinnerton products. Not only do high street stores and super-markets sell Kinnerton chocolate but smaller independent retailers do too.

Does Kinnerton make nut free chocolate?

Yes, we do produce nut free chocolate. All our children’s chocolate –advents, countdown calendars, mini figures, chocolate lollies and Easter eggs - are manufactured in a nut free zone making it suitable for nut allergy sufferers. Since 1998 we have led the way in the confectionery industry by having a clear and concise ‘Nut Free Zone’ label on the back of our packaging.



Please also look out for the black Nut Free logo on the front of our packaging.



Do Kinnerton produce Nut-Free/Dairy Free cooking chocolate?

Yes Kinnerton do produce a Nut Free/Dairy Free cooking chocolate. Our Luxury Plain Chocolate is Nut free, Dairy free, Gluten free and Egg free and is available in selected Waitrose, Sainsburys and Tesco stores, rsp £1.09.  The bar is perfect for cooking "free from" cakes and desserts and comes in a 100g bar.

Are Kinnerton character jellies gluten free?

Kinnerton jellies are not gluten free. These jellies contain wheat and gluten.

What type of gelatine is used in your jellies and candies?
Please see the list below:

Jelly Lollipops – No Gelatine however they contain E414 Arabic gum
Bags of Character Jellies– Pork Gelatine

What happened to the Careful Cake which was suitable for people with various allergies?

Unfortunately, not enough customers were buying the Careful Cake when it was available, making it uneconomic to produce and for the retailer to stock.

Accordingly we ceased production on this at the beginning of 2002. Kinnerton produces a Dairy Free/Nut Free/Egg Free/Gluten Free cooking chocolate which will hopefully help you to cook cakes and desserts of your own, secure in the knowledge that the chocolate is safe with respect to any of the allergens mentioned.

Will the acquisition of Kinnerton by snack and confectionery group Zetar affect Kinnerton's dedication to food allergy issues and the production of nut free/dairy free confectionery?

No. Kinnerton is carrying on business as usual. We will continue to manufacture our nut free and dairy free chocolates at our factory in Norfolk, and will continue to find ways to develop confectionery ranges that are safe and made with a special degree of reassurance.
