Brand statement

Tongue painter: sugar, glucose syrup, acids (lactic acid, malic acid, citric acid), colours (caramel IV, carmines), flavourings, antioxidant (ascorbic acid).
Chupa Chups' own page declares carmine (cochineal, E120), an insect-derived colour, in the Mini Tongue Painter lollipops in this bag; the Woolworths label also lists carmine in the Mini Mentos sweets. The distributor lists Chupa Minis as halal certified, but a declared haram ingredient decides the verdict.Captured 17 Jul 2026chupachups.com.au ↗email reply ↗woolworths.com.au ↗
