In response to a user on our forum who posted an article about how Wrigley products are haram - I decided to write to them and recieved the following reply:

Dear Akbar,
Thank you for contacting us about animal ingredients and our products.
To answer to your question, the vast majority of Wrigley products sold in the
U.S. are free from ingredients of animal origin, including egg and dairy
products. At present, the only chewing gum exceptions are Extra® Polar Ice
stick gum and Juicy Fruit® pellet gums.
Extra® Polar Ice gum and Orbit® Crystal Mint contain tiny flavor beads encased
in a microscopic layer of gelatin, which is animal based. We have requested the
development of a gelatin-free flavor bead that is currently being worked on by
our supplier. Juicy Fruit Grapermelon and Strappleberry gums use shellac as a
coating agent.
The different varieties of our ALTOIDS mints do contain very small quantities
of gelatin which is derived from pork. Gelatin does not impart any flavor to
ALTOIDS, but it's a necessary ingredient for the texture of the mint. When we
use gelatin it is thoroughly purified and dried during its manufacturing
process. Our staff is continually looking at alternatives to animal gelatin,
but at the moment we've not been able to find a substitute that produces the
same quality you've come to love with ALTOIDS.
Our LifeSaver gummies do contain small quantities of gelatin, which is also
derived from pork. It follows the same drying and purifying process as with the
Altoids.
If your diet does not allow you to consume animal byproducts such as dairy, our
CremeSaver line does contain cream, which is a dairy byproduct. On the same
note, our LifeSaver Fusions and LifeSaver gummies are produced on the same line
as our CremeSavers, so there is a chance of cross contamination. Our CremeSaver
soft chews also contain a small amount of gelatin, which is pork based.
We hope this information has been helpful and thanks again for contacting the
Wrigley Company.
Sincerely,
Ryné King
Consumer Affairs Representative

============================================


Therefore according to the info above the following products of theirs are Haram:

Extra® Polar Ice Stick Gum
Juicy Fruit® pellet gums.
Extra® Polar Ice gum and Orbit® Crystal Mint
Juicy Fruit Grapermelon and Strappleberry gums
ALTOIDS mints
Our LifeSaver gummies
CremeSaver
LifeSaver Fusions and LifeSaver

The remaining are halal

These things become halal and then haram so often...

...i would recommend you check it out everytime you buy a packet.

Be careful,a halal product might become haram while you're chewing it. :rollseyes

ok further investigation has alhamdolillah led the "narrowing down of the product lines and specific flavors....so its not as bad as initially thought...please view the first post to see updated images.

ok it took a while to find the images of the individual flavors...i have updated the images above to reflect the correct changes

also i have taken the "brand" images off since they may confuse people since many flavors fall under each brand...

so now the images displayed will only display the specific "types" and "flavors" which are unsuitable for consumptions by muslims

also please note: the Products sold in the UK and other places in the world by wrigleys differ greatly and DO NOT include the products listed as haram in the first post. However if you do see them on your shop shelves, please be aware that those are products most probably imported from the USA and are manufactured using pork gelatine.

The products listed in the first post are made with a formula which requires pork gelatine to be used and thus they are to be considered haram wether available in the uk, usa or elsewhere.

jazak Allah khair for all the input - its been very helpful in narrowing down the products
