Three questions come up constantly from cafés building a plant-based or allergen-aware menu: is it vegan, is it gluten-free, and does it contain nuts. Toschi answers all three on its own product pages, using badges that turn out to be genuinely reliable. We went through all 53 products we stock and compiled the answers.
The headline numbers
- All 53 Toschi products we stock carry Toschi's Gluten free badge.
- 42 of the 43 1L syrups carry the Vegan badge.
- Only 2 of the 43 syrups contain nuts — Almond Milk and Orgeat, both almond.
- 6 products in total contain dairy, egg or nuts. Every one is listed below.
Why we trust the vegan badge
Badges on manufacturer sites are often decorative. Toschi's is not. We checked it against the ingredient list on every product, and it behaves exactly as it should: it appears on the plain sugar-and-fruit products and disappears on every single product containing dairy or egg. Toschi's “no artificial colourings” badge is equally consistent — it vanishes precisely where E133 or caramel colour appears in the list.
A badge that is internally consistent across 234 product pages is a badge you can work from.
The six products that contain dairy, egg or nuts
| Product | Contains | From which ingredient |
|---|---|---|
| Almond Milk Syrup 1L | Nuts | Almonds (10%) |
| Orgeat Syrup 1L | Nuts | Flavourings containing almond |
| Caramel Sauce 2KG | Milk | Cream, butter |
| White Chocolate Sauce 2KG | Milk | Sweetened condensed milk |
| Tiramisu Sauce 1KG | Egg, wine | Sweetened egg yolk (25%), Moscato wine |
| Zabaione Toppings 900g | Egg, milk, wine | Sweetened egg yolk, condensed milk, Moscato wine |
Everything else in the range — all 41 remaining syrups, the Chocolate Barista Sauce, and the Blueberry, Strawberry, Mango, Dark Chocolate and Wild Fruits toppings — contains none of the three.
The sauces and toppings, one by one
This is where it actually varies, so here is the full list:
| Product | Vegan-badged |
|---|---|
| Chocolate Sauce 2KG | Yes |
| Blueberry Sauce 1KG | Yes |
| Strawberry Sauce 1KG | Yes |
| Mango Sauce 900g | Yes |
| Dark Chocolate Sauce 900g | Yes |
| Wild Fruits Toppings 1KG | Yes |
| Caramel Sauce 2KG | No — contains milk |
| White Chocolate Sauce 2KG | No — contains milk |
| Tiramisu Sauce 1KG | No — contains egg |
| Zabaione Toppings 900g | No — contains egg and milk |
Worth pulling out: the Dark Chocolate Topping and the Chocolate Barista Sauce are both vegan-badged. If you need a chocolate sauce for a plant-based menu, you have two real options, and the Dark Chocolate is 24.4% chocolate powder.
The one syrup we won't call vegan
Honey Syrup 1L is the single syrup in the range without a Vegan badge — and its published ingredients are sugar, water, citric acid and flavourings. Nothing animal-derived. There is also no honey in it.
So either the badge is missing in error, or the ingredient list is incomplete. We do not know which, and we are not going to guess on a product where the answer decides whether a vegan customer can drink it. Until Toschi confirms, we describe Honey Syrup as neither vegan nor honey-containing. If you need a definitive answer for a menu, ask us and we will put it to the manufacturer in writing.
Gluten-free — the whole range
Every one of the 53 products carries the gluten-free badge, including the ones with wine and egg in them. That is unusual and genuinely useful: it means gluten is simply not a variable you have to track across the Toschi range.
Halal and kosher — read this carefully
Toschi holds a substantial list of certifications: Kosher (Parve), Halal HQC, Halal Global, Vegan OK, ISO 9001:2015, IFS at Higher Level, BRC Global Standard for Food Safety, and Organic.
Those are held at company and plant level, not per product. That is a real distinction and it matters here, where halal certification is often a purchasing requirement rather than a preference.
We are not putting a halal or kosher claim on an individual product page without a certificate that names that product. If you need certified halal status for a specific SKU, tell us which one and we will request the document from Toschi. An honest “let me get you the certificate” is worth more to your business than a badge we cannot stand behind — particularly since two products in the range contain Moscato wine.
What is still missing
Toschi publishes ingredients and nutrition, but not a formal allergen declaration, and nothing about shared production lines. So an ingredient's absence from a list is not a cross-contact clearance.
Use this guide to answer what is in it and to build a menu. For a customer with a diagnosed allergy, the label on the physical bottle is the authority, and we will chase the manufacturer for anything it does not tell you.
Full ingredients, nutrition and dietary information are on every individual Toschi product page on this site.
