Tic Tac is a popular brand of breath mints made by Ferrero. It’s hard to find exact ingredient and nutrition information for Tic Tacs – some don’t even list it on the packaging – but we were able to find ingredients for Peppermint, Orange, and Fruit Adventure Tic Tacs on the Australian version of the Ferrero website.

Tic Tacs contain sugar and “natural flavors” – they’re actually 94.5% sugar! There’s always a small chance these ingredients might not be vegan friendly if the manufacturer does not explicitly state that they are. If you are not concerned about the source of the sugar or “natural flavors,” then Tic Tacs are vegan, as they do not contain any animal derivatives.
