For a meeting table where bite-size mints are the priority, Tic Tac’s mini multipack offers four separate packs of 37 mints; its 98g bottle offers 200 mints if one shared container suits the room. Add a separately labelled sugar-free option, such as Polo Sugar Free, if attendees may want one, but check each pack’s ingredients and warnings before serving.
If you want several small packs around a meeting room, Ocado lists a Tic Tac mini multipack containing four packs of 37 mints. Its 98g bottle, listed with 200 mints, is an alternative when one shared container makes more sense.
If colleagues may prefer sugar-free mints, a labelled roll can sit alongside the standard mini mints. Tesco lists Polo Sugar Free as vegan, with approximately seven three-mint servings in a 33.4g roll. It is a different format from a mini multipack.
A dispenser may suit a desk or bag better than a communal bowl. Smint UK describes a one-at-a-time dispenser in its mint range; check the exact product before buying, as Ocado describes Smint XXL mints as three times bigger than regular Smint.
Start with how the mints will be offered: several packs, one shared container or a personal dispenser. Then compare the exact products’ sugar information, ingredients and pack warnings.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Size and quantity | Look for an explicit mini description and a piece count. Ocado lists four packs of 37 for the Tic Tac multipack, or 200 mints in the 98g bottle. | I want bite-size mints and enough pieces for the meeting, without relying on the container’s size to tell me how many it holds. |
| How they are shared | Decide whether separate packs or one shared bottle works for the room. A personal one-at-a-time dispenser serves a different purpose from a refreshment-table supply. | Several small packs would let me put mints in different places; for one refreshment point, a shared container may be simpler. |
| Sugar-free choice | Read the exact pack’s sugar information rather than assuming all small mints are alike. Tesco lists Polo Sugar Free as having less than 0.5g sugars per three-mint serving. | I may want to offer a clearly labelled sugar-free alternative alongside standard mini mints, even if it comes as a roll. |
| Ingredients and warnings | Check the current ingredient, allergen and dietary information on each pack. Read any sweetener warnings: Ocado lists an excessive-consumption warning and a phenylalanine statement for Smint Peppermint Sugar Free Mints. | Where colleagues have dietary requirements, I need to identify the exact product being served and keep its label available. |
Portable packaging does not establish the size of each mint. Ocado describes Smint XXL mints as three times bigger than regular Smint.
If bite-size pieces are central to the meeting plan, check that the listing identifies the mints as mini and gives a useful piece count.
The Tic Tac mini format and Tesco’s Polo Sugar Free roll answer different requests: the former provides small mints in shareable packs, while the latter is listed as a sugar-free roll.
If both choices matter, put out separately labelled products rather than presenting them as interchangeable.
Ocado lists a warning that excessive consumption of Smint Peppermint Sugar Free Mints may produce laxative effects, along with a statement that the product contains a source of phenylalanine. Marks & Spencer lists an excessive-consumption warning for its Sugar-Free Clear Mint Drops.
Keep the relevant packaging available so attendees can read the information for the product offered.
Tesco lists Polo Sugar Free as vegan, whereas Marks & Spencer lists beef gelatine in M&S Curiously Strong Mints. Mint flavour alone does not establish dietary suitability.
Check the current ingredient and allergen information for each exact product before serving it, particularly when an attendee has a known requirement.
These examples illustrate different mint formats; a brand name alone does not tell you the size, ingredients or warnings of a particular pack.
Ocado lists a mini mint multipack with four packs of 37, as well as a 98g Fresh Mint bottle containing 200 mints.
Tesco lists a 33.4g Polo Sugar Free roll as vegan, with approximately seven servings of three mints.
Smint UK describes a one-at-a-time mint dispenser. Ocado lists a separate Smint Peppermint sugar-free product and describes Smint XXL mints as larger than regular Smint.
Sainsbury’s and ASDA list a 41.3g Trebor Extra Strong Peppermint Mints Roll.
Marks & Spencer lists Sugar-Free Clear Mint Drops and Curiously Strong Mints with different ingredient information.
This four-pack is an option for putting bite-size mints at more than one place around a meeting room.

The four separate packs suit a meeting where mints will be set out in several places. Ocado lists 37 mints per pack for this multipack format. This is a sugared option; keep the packaging available so colleagues can check its current ingredients and allergen information.
Choose a product identified as mini mints and check its piece count. Ocado lists four packs of 37 for the Tic Tac mini multipack, which can be placed separately, and 200 mints in its 98g Fresh Mint bottle if one shared container suits the meeting.
A separately labelled sugar-free option is useful when attendees may want one. Tesco lists Polo Sugar Free as vegan and containing less than 0.5g sugars per three-mint serving, though its roll does not provide the same format as the Tic Tac mini multipack.
They should check the warnings for the exact product. Ocado states that excessive consumption of Smint Peppermint Sugar Free Mints may produce laxative effects and that the product contains a source of phenylalanine; Marks & Spencer also lists an excessive-consumption warning for its Sugar-Free Clear Mint Drops.
Check the current ingredient and allergen information for every product offered, and keep its identifying packaging available. GOV.UK and Food Standards Agency guidance distinguishes between prepacked and loose food for allergen labelling, so do not assume an unlabelled bowl gives colleagues the information they need.
No; suitability depends on the exact product. Tesco lists Polo Sugar Free as vegan, while Marks & Spencer lists beef gelatine in M&S Curiously Strong Mints. Check the current pack before choosing for a dietary requirement.
