Jammie Dodgers are now vegan friendly thanks to recipe change

More and more people can enjoy childhood favourite Jammie Dodgers as its makers have announced they're changing its recipe.

From July 13, the gooey biscuits will be 100 per cent plant-based, making them a great choice for vegans.

The new plant-based treats will come in a darker red packet, with a new design of the logo so shoppers can tell which ones are the original and which biscuits are the new vegan ones.

Vegans were left heartbroken when dairy was added to the biscuit some years ago, the Mirror reports.

Burtons Biscuits, the creators of the legendary snack felt bad that some people couldn’t eat the cheeky jam treat anymore, so decided to create a plant-based version.

Speaking about the recipe change, Kate Needham, Marketing Director at Burtons Biscuits, said: “We have listened to our biscuit fans and are pleased to announce that we’ve moved once again to a dairy-free recipe.

"Family fun is at the Jammie heart of our brand, so it’s important to us that the whole family - and families of all lifestyles - can share a pack.

"Thanks to the new recipe, we’re happy that will now be more possible.”

But that’s not all, with our household classic seeing a surge in popularity, you can expect to see lots more fun and mischief coming from the UK’s favourite Jammie biscuit brand going forwards!

"It’s an exciting time to be a Jammie Dodger fan.”
