I'm sure to most of you this is old news by now. Skittles indeed have been gelatin-free since around January, but there are still some people slowly finding out about it and rejoicing that they are now able to taste the rainbow alhamdulillah haha.
However, most likely there is a small trace of alcohol in it, for those who are wary of alcohol in foods, wAllahu ta'ala alam.

ReplyDeleteis this for all the flavors?????? i had no idea so thanks so much for putting this up and seeing the pic of the label makes me feel more comfortable thanks
ReplyDeleteI, too, have rejoiced :D
ReplyDeleteBut what about the red 40 in skittles? Does that mean I should avoid only the red ones? :DDD
Red 40? Where is that from? I asked them if any of the colorings were animal derived or if the gloss used on the exterior were from animals and they said no, which is why the skittles are also vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteooooooooooooooooo yeaaaaaaaaah onn share this one .
ReplyDeleteThere is no 7araam color in it!!
ReplyDeleteasalam aleikom i checked here in my little corner of Canada, and they have gelatin :( thanks for posting, i will have to check out the other flavours.
ReplyDeleteall of the flavors here are gelatin and gluten free. i love it :)
ReplyDeleteI am very sure red 40 is haram...
ReplyDeleteHow is red 40 haram? It is from petroleum! Get your facts straight
ReplyDeletered #40, It is even synthetic, On the other side there is a natural red colour used which is just the powder of red beatles (insects) called 'cochineal". Non-Muslims specially have tendency towards cochineal because of their recent trend of using "Natural" products.

There is info about both these colors as under:

According to these links:

yellow #5 is ok, but still, this color has side effects.
While Red#40 is actually E129. Try not to use it. Instead you can use E128. Also as I said the cochineal red is totally an insect powder.
Above things make you confused, right? So its better not to use artificial things and just use natural products, colorless jellies etc.
its not carmine though so most of us dont have a prob. with it. theres already info on carmine on this site, tis not even used that much in theUS i have never come across it in anything i've eaten
ReplyDeleteNot in Canada sadly. I don't know why they insist on manufacturing them differently for Canadians.
ReplyDeleteSour Skittles and the Crazy Core (nasty) ones are halal here though.
Yes
ReplyDeleteAre purple packet Skittles halal jazakallaho khair
