As confirmed by the manufacturer all food colours in this product are either from synthetic sources or vegetarian sources.  This even includes the red smarties as the red food colour is sourced from beet juice. 

Furthermore there are no animal sourced ingredients in this product other than milk or milk byproducts such as whey powder. 

Specifically:

• The whey protein is produced by adding microbial-sourced rennet to the milk and then it is separated into curds and whey liquid. The whey is then separated and dried which produces whey powder.
  
• Vanilla flavour used in Smarties contains no ethyl alcohol.  Vanillin does not come into contact with alcohol during production.
