About this product
Poppets Toffee is a 39 g cardboard carton of chewy toffee balls coated in milk chocolate, sold in the United Kingdom under the Poppets brand and made by Valeo Confectionery.[4] The carton front carries the PAYNES signature above the Poppets wordmark and the line "chewy toffee covered in milk chocolate", and the pack is opened through a tear-out hatch in one corner rather than a wrapper, the format the brand has kept since the 1930s.[5] The back names a UK consumer-services address at WF8 9BT and the Valeo Foods Group in Dublin.[6] The barcode is a GTIN-8, 50314904, printed by UK, Swedish and US sellers alike.[7][8][9]
Poppets were introduced in 1937 by George Payne & Co of Croydon, as a dragée with only a raisin centre; toffee, mint and orange followed, and by 2011 about ten million were eaten each week.[5] Payne's was bought by Northern Foods in 1998, the Croydon Road factory closed in 2001 and production moved to Leicester and, from 2020, to York; the brand now belongs to Valeo Confectionery Limited of Norwich, registered since 1986 and formerly Tangerine Confectionery Limited.[5][10] The carton's recipe was reformulated between 2022 and 2025: the older list opened with sugar and glucose syrup and declared the pack as "milk chocolate (37%) with toffee centres", while the current one opens with the milk chocolate itself and adds polydextrose, gum arabic and dextrinised tapioca starch.[6][11]

- nutrition · stale: no photograph of the 2025 carton's nutrition panel exists; the transcribed figures come from the 2020 and 2022 photographs of the same pack and may predate the recipe change
- relationships · not_applicable: this is a GTIN-8, which GS1 UK allocates number by number, so there is no company prefix and no gs1_prefix_owner can be recorded
- markets · unknown: amazon.co.uk carries single-box and multipack Poppets Toffee 39 g listings, but the storefront refuses both the server and a direct read, so none could be matched to this barcode
- ingredients · disputed: the 2022 carton names Shellac and Dextrinised Starch as the glazing agents; the Swedish retailer's translation of the same barcode names shellac and gum arabic
