About this deal

It also uses fish glue, gelatin, and egg white. But Mike and Ikes do not use this pigment. Instead, they use the red 40, which achieves its color through strawberries. So it’s vegan-friendly.

Wild Berry (dark purple) - I got only one of these, so it’s hard to make much of an assessment based on that. It tasted a lot like the raspberry, perhaps a little more intense.

Other than the original signature version of Mike and Ikes there is a version of Mike and Ike Megamix chewy candy and Mike and Ike Mega Mix Sour Chewy Candies. The previous flavors were Blueberry (blue), Strawberry (red), Mixed Berry (purple), Raspberry (pink), Wild Berry (green) while the new flavors are Blueberry, Strawberry, Blue Raspberry, Peach Berry and Wild Berry. So besides a color shift for some of the returning flavors, the new flavor here is Peach Berry. Blue Raspberry (light blue) - again, mild. I really couldn’t tell it was raspberry specifically, but at least there was no red food coloring aftertaste. The tart bite was completely missing.I’d like to say that I’m reviewing Mike and Ike Berry Blast because they’ve changed their flavors. Honestly, I’m reviewing them because I’ve never actually had them before. The confectioner’s glaze they use is made of shellac. It’s not entirely animal-derived. The shellac is extracted from trees where some kind of bugs make their cocoon.

The answer is yes and no. Technically it does not contain any direct animal-derived product. So some vegans like to call it vegan-friendly. But for some strict vegans, it’s not vegan. Because the ingredients used are not ethical for the animals. Why is Mike and Ikes is considered non-vegan to some people?But a synthetic version is produced via coal and crude oil. It also can be achieved by bacterial fermentation. So it’s a small additive you can let go of without overthinking.

The ingredients are pretty much the same as the original one. So if you are somehow a liberal vegan, you would consider it a vegan. Gelatin is a big no in the vegan community. Gelatin is a substance found in cattle and pigs’ bones.

David Lebovitz - personal guide for chocolate tours of Paris, cookbook writer and incredible blogger Overall, I think it’s just my personal preference for more intensely flavored candies that are assertive in their flavors. But as far as flavor mixes go, I like that these are all in the same flavor family and if I mixed the colors in the same mouthful, there isn’t a bad combination to be had. Add to that, the jelly bean quality here is very smooth and I enjoyed the color variations. The bag is a decent value since it holds 2.12 ounces, I’ve found that the bags are fresher than the theater boxes. Related Candies Now the Chewy Goodness of Berry Blast in a Theater Box.
