Fruit Tella Sugar Free

Fruittella released the strawberry flavour chew in a sugar free version called Fruittella Sugar Free and available in a box Format.

Fruit Tella Filled

In 2007 they released a choc-filled Fruittella. The company kept the name Fruittella despite the fact that chocolate is not a fruit[citation needed]. The chocolate Fruitella also exhibited an uncharacteristically hard texture which some members of the public did not favour, leading to a decrease in sales and the eventual demise of the sweet. In 2008, the chocolate variety returned but this time with a softer texture similar in comparison to Fruittella chews. This range has since been extended to include the following flavours:

  • Raspberry and Cherry (now discontinued)
  • Chocolate and Caramel (now discontinued)
  • Orange and Mango
  • Strawberry and Melon (UK Launch July 2009)
