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?
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!

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.
I gave daleel with example of water...!!!format_quote Originally Posted by YusufNoor

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.......format_quote Originally Posted by Dawud_uk

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.
that's nasty. I don't want pig in my chocolate.
they are not extracting calcium though are they?format_quote Originally Posted by sur

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.
Buy your chocolates from New Zealand, Cadbury use HALAL Geletin in nearly ALL of their chocolates hereFrom Chocolate fish to Perky Nana
Re: Warning: Cadburys Choclate with Pork
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.format_quote Originally Posted by aminahgorilla

There is no problem with Cadbury chocolate here either, it's just that the thread title is a bit dramatic. Mousses are the problem.format_quote Originally Posted by SirZubairBuy your chocolates from New Zealand, Cadbury use HALAL Geletin in nearly ALL of their chocolates here
