Just don't tell your dentist.
Yes! Starburst Fruit Chews are back for a limited time to Woolworths. The people have spoken and the powers that be listened.
Almost two years after the beloved lollies were discontinued in Australia, eagle-eyed shoppers have spotted them on shelves at Woolies. Mars Wrigley axed the popular Starburst brand back in 2022, blaming continued supply chain issues for the decision.
Those supply chain issues were caused by patchy imports from Europe at the tail end of Covid and turmoil in Eastern Europe.
Now that things are a bit more stable, imports on the Fruit Chews are a-go, spelling an unexpected return and an immediate threat to your tooth fillings. You can find the Fruit Chews on shelves in the international aisle – very exotic.

Supply is limited, and for a limited time only.
“We know some customers have missed having their favourite Starburst Fruit Chews,” a spokesperson told news.com.au.
“That’s why for a limited time we’re bringing in the UK manufactured version, customers should check online to see availability in their local store.”
Starburst Fruit Chews are available now at Woolworths for $5.00.
