At Hancocks, we are exceptionally proud of the wide selection of confectionery we are able to provide to our customers. This broad-spanning offering helps retailers across England, Wales, Scotland and further afield provide delicious treats to people of all ages.
We are also proud of how our selection can help businesses cater for the needs of people with specific dietary requirements, allowing more and more people to enjoy great flavours.
As such, we are delighted to announce that Hancocks is now stocking sweets from Sweetzone – one of the most popular halal sweet brands.
‘Halal’ is an Arabic word meaning lawful or permissible. In terms of its relation to food and diet, it represents the foods that Muslim people are able to consume.
There are certain meats that are allowed to be consumed so long as the animal has been slaughtered in a certain way that follows a certain ritual.
If an animal has not been slaughtered in this way, then Muslim people should not consume anything from this animal.
You may think that sweets and meat aren’t closely aligned, but there are many sweets out there that do contain certain elements such as gelatine and colouring that are made using parts of animals.
This means that there are plenty of sweets out there that Muslim people are not able to eat.
Halal sweets however use substitute ingredients, meaning all the great taste and flavour is there for customers.
Therefore ensuring that you stock halal sweets means that you can cater for those customers who have halal requirements and allow more and more people to enjoy delicious sweet treats.
Sweetzone is a leading producer of halal sweets, with the company taking great care to ensure all their products are 100% halal. They do this by ensuring no product includes non-halal gelatine, colours such as E120, and any other element that would make a sweet non-halal.
Of course, halal sweets can be enjoyed by people of all religions and backgrounds, so there’s no reason not to stock up and cater for as many of your customers as possible. And many of Sweetzone’s products are also suitable for vegetarians. Included in Hancocks’ range of products from Sweetzone are tubs of Rainbow Pencils, Strawberry Puffs, Fruity Hearts and Fizzy Blue Raspberry Bottles.
We also stock tubs of tasty sour snakes, as well as yellow bellies that are brimming with flavour.
There are classic confectionery items available, including giant fizzy cola bottles, giant fizzy blue bottles and tubs of candy floss. Hancocks also stocks delighted fizzy mix and party mix bags, which can make great birthday presents or treats for special occasions.
As well as Sweetzone products, we stock a wide variety of halal sweets from leading brands, including Crazy Candy Factory, Kingsway and Zed Candy.
We also have a full dietary specific section for you to pick from, while our accessories and stands range can provide you with the perfect way to display your confectionery range.
Hancocks also has a great delivery service, as well as 20 depots located across the UK. This means you can take advantage of our click and collect service. Find your nearest Hancocks depot today.
