Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Biscuit

Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Biscuits are an iconic Scottish confectionery item, consisting of five layers of wafer, four layers of caramel, and a coating of real milk chocolate. Often recognized by their distinctive red and gold foil wrapper, they have become a cultural staple in the United Kingdom.

The product is manufactured by Thomas Tunnock Limited at their purpose-built factory in Uddingston, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The company has remained a family-owned business since its inception in the late 19th century, maintaining a high level of independence in an industry often dominated by large multinational corporations.

Ownership remains strictly within the Tunnock family, with Sir Boyd Tunnock famously leading the company through its modern era of growth. The brand is celebrated for its traditional manufacturing techniques and its refusal to be acquired by larger global food conglomerates.
