The decline of Quality Street: How iconic British sweets founded by Yorkshire family are now packed with palm oil and 'harmful' additives - as customers say they 'taste like wax'
Full story
Some Quality Street sweets, including the green triangle, have remained unchanged over time. Other traditional options like Fig Fancy and Gooseberry Cream were removed to match modern tastes. Customers have complained that the candies now taste like wax. These British sweets were originally founded by a family from Yorkshire. Critics claim the products are now filled with palm oil and additives described as harmful.
While some sweets - such as the iconic green triangle - have stood the test of time, traditional favourites like the Gooseberry Cream and Fig Fancy have been long-since replaced to suit a more modern palette.
