[[File:Geo. Bassett & Co confectionery factory in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.jpg|thumb|Jelly Babies in the UK are manufactured at [[Cadbury#United Kingdom|Cadbury Trebor Bassett]] (the former [[Bassett's]] factory) in the [[Owlerton]] suburb of [[Sheffield]].]]
The most noted modern manufacturer of Jelly Babies, Bassett's, now allocate individual name, shape, colour and flavour to different babies: Brilliant (red; strawberry), Bubbles (yellow; lemon), Baby Bonny (pink; raspberry), Boofuls (green; lime), Bigheart (purple; blackcurrant), and Bumper (orange).

The introduction of different shapes and names was an innovation, circa 1989, prior to which all colours of jelly baby were a uniform shape. Bassett's Jelly Babies changed in September 2007 to include only natural colours and ingredients.<ref>{{cite news |last=Willmer |first=Karen |date=13 September 2007 |title=Confectionery giants cut use of artificial additives |url=http://www.confectionerynews.com/The-Big-Picture/Confectionery-giants-cut-use-of-artificial-additives |url-status=dead |work=confectionerynews.com |access-date=6 March 2024| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211021185341/https://www.confectionerynews.com/Article/2007/09/14/Confectionery-giants-cut-use-of-artificial-additives |archive-date=21 October 2021}}</ref> There are many brands of jelly babies, as well as [[Store brand|supermarket own brands]].

Jelly Babies manufactured in the United Kingdom tend to be dusted in [[starch]], which is left over from the manufacturing process, where it is used to aid release from the mould. Jelly Babies manufactured in Australia generally lack this coating. Like most other [[Gummi candy|gummy sweets]], they contain [[gelatin]].
