According to nutritional data, standard Percy Pigs contain a high amount of sugar, with about 59.5 grams per 100 grams, comparable to many other conventional gummy sweets. This raises the key question: are Percy Pigs healthier than normal sweets, or is their 'fruit juice' marketing just a clever facade?

Following a major recipe change implemented in 2019, all standard Percy Pig sweets are now completely gelatin-free. This means the popular Marks & Spencer confectionery no longer contains pork gelatine and has evolved from its original formula to become a vegetarian-friendly treat.

Despite being made with 'real fruit juice', a standard 100g bag of M&S Percy Pigs contains approximately 59.5g of sugar. This startling figure challenges the popular notion that these beloved gummy sweets are a healthy snack option.
