This is a warning to anyone buying Cadburys Chocolate. Please check the ingredients.

Me and my family bought some Cadburys chocolate mousse and after we all ate it realised it contained Pork Gelatin.

I would have never imagined Pork in Chocolate. What is wrong with these people?

Sadly many products contain gelatin. Check the ingredients on everything and if you see gelatin mentioned, don't eat it, unless you know the gelatin is from a halal source.

any cadbury's products which contain geletine will contain pork (not that eating non pork but still haram geletine is a good thing anyway).

this is because they manufacture in the uk and in the uk they dont use beef geletine anymore because of the fear of mad cow disease.

I don't think that the Cadburys they send to the middle east contains pork, they usually use beef gelatine.

Jazakallah for the advice. The chocolate mousse said "pork gelatin" in the ingredients. I feel even worse because its pork and not beef. I wish I had checked before I ate :(

as another brother(or 2) pointed out, GELATIN (period, not just pork) is Haram, UNLESS it states that it is Halal.

btw, not using you as an example, just pointing it out. :)

Don't know about anyone else but I was surprised to find that muller light yoghurts have got gelatine in them... My (muslim) friend came to my house the other day and on the way went to Tesco to get some lunch... They bought a muller light yoghurt and I was like "Woah!! Don't you know they have gelatine in them?!" Their reply was "No they haven't, I used to eat these all the time" so I said to check the ingredients and they were as surprised as me!! :muddlehea

Here's a link for what's halaal and what's not.
You can go back to the home page to search for other companies you may be interested in.
This only applies in the UK however.

pork has water(H2O) in it's tissues.....
if a pork is slaughtered, water in it evapourates & becomes part of a cloud......
cloud rains & that rain water seeps into ground....
they pump that water in ur water tank & u drink that water....

So now water that originated in pork is going in ur body.....!!!!! How can u stop this haraam product going in u???

:sl:
Chocolate mousse usually contains gelatine, Cadbury or not. Regular chocolate is free from the stuff, it's just that mousse needs something to give it its jelly-like consistency.

Word of advice: don't eat chocolate mousse or any chocolate-flavoured yoghurts, I've never seen one without any gelatine.

As a general guidline, most foods that are suitable for vegetarians these days have the vegetarian symbol, also most moussses/jelly, jelly sweets, trifles, anything that is of jelly consistancy or moussy, or chocolate yoghurts will contain geletin, and usally haram from a non-islamic shop will be haram. The cadburys chocolate should be fine though InshaAllah - Still always safer to check:)
Hope that helps!

Mine was a rhetorical question.
I do trust ALLAH that chemicals in pork get processed to their basic nature & so this basic chemical H2O(dihydrogen oxide) does NOT remain haraam. Likewise "gelatin" is a basic compound that in extracted from whatever source after a lot of filteration processes..... So it DOES NOT remain haraam................

Eating pork is haraam, E.A.T.I.N.G. or drinking any porkish material for that matter.


If gelation extracted after filteration is haraam, then water that evaporated from pork is also haraam. !!!

geletine from pork (or other haram source) is not the same as water, one is basic compound of life, the other is mixture of various organic chemicals and dead organic matter directly devived from a haram source.

there is no filtration process, it is processed through various cooking and chemical processes but end result is still a product containing dead haram animal.

or if u r asking for scholarly fatwa on this topic, YES, i have scholarly fatwa BUT scholar i heard it from doesn't have online material from him so i can't give his web link. But if u search like "fatwa gelatin" u'll find many fatwas allowing gelatin.

u r contradicting urself. U said there is no filtration then urself said it goes thru chemical processes.......


How about if someone extract pure calcium(Ca) from bones of pork & start selling in market......!!! This is even more simple than water(H2O). Will u take that calcium???


& by-the-way gelatin is a chemical extracted after purifying & chemically extracting processing collagen. & Many of medicines & cod-liver-oil capsules, primrose oil capsules etc rather ALL capsules have same gelatin whose source we cannot confirm. If gelatin is haraam then we should stop taking gelatin containing supplements & many foods available in market, right from yogurt, ice creams, low-fat-milk coz they use gelatin to take fat out, beverages coz they use gelatin to clear beverages like fruit juices of pulp, jellies & salads,,,, let alone this chocolate mentioned in OP.


Now, there's nothing like halal gelatin or haraam gelatin. Gelatin manufacturers don't care about muslims. They would buy whatever raw material would be cheaper for them.

Even if you can not find products with halal gelatin, you need not be deprived. Look for things that use stuff like Carrageen, aga-agar, etc. You will never notice it is not gelatin.

they are not extracting calcium though are they?

they are extracting the various matter from the bone and tendans which they boil up and do other things to to make geletine, the sticky stuff you use for cooking.

the gelatine in the tablets is the coating, not all medicines have it but there are alternatives so ask at the doctors if not sure.

You need to use gelatin to make yoghurts like that, unless you use some expensive alternative or a vegetable-based substance. And since most of Cadbury's customers are not Muslims or Jews, you can't really blame them for using the first one.
It's not just Cadbury mousse that is haram, all mousses and chocolate yoghurts are, except ones that are specifically halal.

There is no problem with Cadbury chocolate here either, it's just that the thread title is a bit dramatic. Mousses are the problem.
