About Us
We’re a privately owned traditional sweet company that was established in Wigan, England 1898 by a gentleman named William Santus. The ownership has been passed down through the family generations and is currently owned by John and Antony Winnard, Williams’s great nephews.
Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls are still manufactured using the same traditional methods as when Mrs Santus originally made the sweets in her kitchen in 1898. The completely natural “secret recipe” has been passed down through the family generations. Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls contain no artificial additives or colours, they are GM free, gluten free and are suitable for the vegetarian / vegan market.
