Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles ([1] previously rebranded in Australia as Wonka Fruit Pastilles after the 1988 acquisition of Rowntree's by Nestlé prior to their local discontinuation, and currently rebranded as Fruit Joy in Italy; Frutips in Canada, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan) are small round sweets measuring about 1.5 cm (0.6 in) in diameter; they have a jelly-like consistency, and are covered with sugar. They contain fruit juice, have no artificial colours or flavours, and come in five flavours: lemon (yellow), lime (green), strawberry (red), blackcurrant (purple) and orange (orange).[2]
Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles originated in York, England, in 1881. Production was moved to Fawdon in 1958 following the opening of the new Rowntree's factory in 1957. In 2023, production was moved offshore to the Czech Republic.[3]
