I know halal candies are hard to come by, so I wanted to let you all know that

I also am selling some really nice hijabs and hijab pins, check them out and let me know if you want anything inshaAllah! :D

Everything is posted up here, with info and prices and how to order:

Well, as every matter in Islam it's a much debated matter... But to get to the point, those who avoid gelatin and other animal derived ingredients from non zabiha meat, don't eat Skittles, Starburst, and most gummies because of gelatin being in them.

It's probably something to do with the colourings. Some red food colourings are made from crushed insects.

Starburst are vegetarian though (I think), so why would there need to be a halal version?

US Skittles and Starbursts both have gelatin.
UK Skittles have E120/Carmine (the insect dye) but the Starbursts are vegetarian.

The candies I have are from the UK, Kuwait, Turkey, and Dubai.

^ Out of nowhere? They were haraam ever since I can remember.

They are actually making some gelatin free Skittles in the US. I guess it's for the vegetarian people out here. I bought some recently and finallyyy got to taste Skittles. Sooo nice. :statisfie

At least it is halal,rather be legal and haaram or a little of track of the law and halal? That's the real question you have to ask yourself and answer too.

If she does not make them where does she get them from? By the way that question is directed at the threadstarter.

Yep. That's my main question.
Surely they're not legitimate. Otherwise they'd be easily accessed.

Why? They sell them overseas, not in the UK/USA.

In Australia we have the four n twenty pie. The version of the pie sold in Australia is not halal. But they have a 'export' version that they export to Muslim countries and that is made from halal beef.

haha, no I don't make them. I get them from overseas - Kuwait, Dubai, Egypt..
The gummies I have are vegetarian gummies from the UK. The Starbursts are vegetarian as well - from Ireland.

I mean, if anyone thinks it's not legit I have the ingredients up on the site and if you're actually interested you can contact me and I'll send you information from the people who make the gummies, indicating they are gelatin free.

The reason why they aren't that easy to get your hands on here (in my opinion) is because to ship from overseas is crazy expensive and shop keepers wouldn't make much, if any, profit off of selling these items. Also, many shop keepers who do frequent these countries and could bring back some halal skittles and starbursts and what not... don't care and just eat the ones from here anyway (at least the people in my area). All the halal meat shops in the part of NJ I'm in sell the regular Skittles and when told they are not halal they say "it's okay, it's for the non-Muslims", yet when a Muslim picks it up assuming they must be halal they never tell them otherwise.

I honestly don't make anything off of this, whatever profit I make covers the shipping expense... I just enjoy people's happy reactions to getting halal candy =) alhamdulillah
