Dear Miss X

Thank you for your recent enquiry via email.

At present Carmine is used in the Pink and Violet Smarties. In the very near
future we will be launching Smarties using no artifical colourings. The Red,
Orange and Pink Smarties will then be the only three Colours containing Carminic
Acid or E120.

Details about specific products and the ingredients and additives they contain
can be found on the product packaging. Recourse to that information should
enable you to decide whether you wish to choose or avoid any particular Nestle
product.

Thank you once again for taking the trouble to contact us. I hope that this
reply answers your questions and that you will continue to enjoy our products in
the future.

Kind regards

my sister was asking a question, why is it that during the time of Moses (as) Allah swt sent down food from the sky which was described as being some sort of insect..if insects are haraam? i didnt know how to answer that because all i know about the story of Moses (as) is what i learnt at school (non-muslim school)

[2:57] And We gave you the shade of clouds and sent down to you Manna and quails, saying: "Eat of the good things We have provided for you:" (But they rebelled); to us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.



Allaah Almighty knows best.

[Qur'an 02:57]

And We made the clouds to give shade over you [a] and We sent to you manna and quails. Eat of the good things that We have given you.
And they did not do Us any harm, but they wronged their own souls.



[57a.]The Bible speaks of a cloud, clear and bright during the night, thick and gloomy in day time (Exod. 13:21), a very unnatural phenomenon to continue for forty years. The Qur’ån simply speaks of clouds having given them shade at some point in their journey in the wilderness, when probably the excessive heat of the Arabian Desert had become unbearable.

[57b.] The mann and salwå are the manna and quails of Exodus, 16th chapter.
Literally, mann is anything which comes to man without much effort (LL). In a saying of the Holy Prophet the truffle is spoken of as being mann. LL has the following explanation under the word turanjabßn: “A kind of manna; the manna of the thorny plants called by the Arabs the håj, and hence by European botanists Alhagi; according to Dr. Royle it is a sweetish juice which exudes from the Alhagi maurorum, crystallizes into small granular masses, and is usually distinguished by the name of Persian manna; a kind of dew that falls mostly in Khuråsån and Må-warå al-nahr and in our country, mostly upon the håj; the best thereof is that which is fresh or moist and white (Ibn Sßnå),
the mann or manna mentioned in the Qur’ån”. Some say it was honey. Salwå means whatever renders one content in a case of privation. It is a certain bird resembling the quail (LL). The mann and the salwå formed the food of the Israelites in the wilderness. According to Zj, it includes all that Allåh bestowed on them as a gift in the wilderness and granted to them freely without much exertion on their part (AH)
