For years, Twister lollies by Walls Ice Cream have been a beloved treat in our household. Like many other families, we rely on the Twister lolly because my little boy, who is autistic, suffers from anaphylaxis to dairy and nuts. The Twister lolly, being vegan, has been his safe haven, the one sweet treat he can enjoy without worry. Now, there’s talk about changing its ingredients, which could mean introducing allergens that would prevent my son and countless other children with similar allergies from enjoying them.

This is not just a treat; it’s a lifeline for children who face dietary restrictions due to severe allergies. The unique formulation of the Twister lolly has made it accessible and enjoyable for children who cannot indulge in typical dairy-filled desserts. The prospect of changing this formulation could deprive these children of simple joys that others take for granted. It's not just about flavour — it's about safety and inclusion.

Imagine the heartbreak of telling your child that their favorite and only safe treat has suddenly become dangerous. Picture the little faces of children who, despite their constant struggles with allergies, could at least trust their Twister lolly to offer some normalcy in their dessert choices.

Approximately 1 in 13 children in the UK have food allergies, with milk and nuts being amongst the most common allergens (source: NHS). Changing the Twister lolly's composition could put it out of reach for thousands of children who currently rely on it, not just as a treat but as an essential part of their diet and lifestyle.

We urge Walls Ice Cream to reconsider altering the ingredients of the Twister lolly. Instead, they should cherish and preserve its current formulation, which has become a staple for so many families. Let's keep Twister lollies safe and accessible for all children, especially those with severe allergies, and preserve the joy they bring to children like my son.

Please join us in calling on Walls Ice Cream to keep Twister lollies free from dairy and nut ingredients. Sign this petition to ensure that children with allergies can continue to enjoy their favourite treat safely. Your signature can make a significant impact.
