Gold Bond Products

Dear Mrs. Lazeena,

Thank you for contacting Chattem, Inc. regarding the content of ethyl alcohol and animal bi-products in our product Gold Bond. Our Gold Bond line is free from ethyl alcohol. However, some of the Gold Bond products are free from animal bi-products.

Non Animal derived products are as listed below:

• GB Ultimate Powder and Ultimate Baby Powder
• GB Foot Powder
• GB Anti Itch Cream
• GB Ultimate Soothing Powder

All other GB lotions or creams contain ingredients that are likely or definitely sourced from animal ingredients. Mostly from beef tallow but may also contain pork derived tallow.

If we can be of further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

Red Bull

Interesting response

Hi Lazeena,

Thank you for sending us your question.

Red Bull Energy Drink is a non-alcoholic beverage and is registered as a non-alcoholic beverage in all the countries where it is sold. But as most other beverages/soft drinks, Red Bull Energy Drink contains traces of alcohol coming from the flavors used. Red Bull contains less than 0.05 % alcohol.

If you're wondering for religious purposes, Red Bull Energy Drink is Halal. This has been certified by the MUSLIM JUDICIAL COUNCIL. Imaam Y. Harris, Cape Town. Before issuing this certificate, the production site and the origin of the ingredients were inspected and checked by an official of the Federation.

Also, Red Bull Energy Drink contains no animal by-products, so it is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. Its key ingredients include taurine, caffeine, glucuronolactone and B Vitamins - which all work together to vitalize the body and the mind.

Hope this answers your questions.

With soaring regards,

-"D"

Totino's Pizza Rolls

Are they really THAT good..? haha

Hello Valued Consumer:

Thank you for contacting Pillsbury with your inquiry. In answer to your question, there is no alcohol present in the pizza rolls. Because our suppliers will not commit to a single source all of the time, the enzymes used to make the cheese may be from an animal source depending on the supplier at the time of production.

We hope you find this information helpful. Please let us know if we can help you again.


Thank you,

Klondike Ice Cream Bars

Lots of 'haram' possibilities with Klondike

Hello MRS. LAZEENA,

Thank you for writing us regarding Klondike Ice Cream .

Some of our products contain ingredients that are derived from animal-by-products. Any product containing Glycerin and/or Stearic Acid contains animal by products:

• Stearic acid from beef tallow
• Glycerin may be either synthetic or natural glycerin, which is derived from beef tallow or coconut
• Lanolin Alcohol is derived from animal matter
• Oleic Acid- Derived from animal (beef or pork)

The actual ingredient used in the products is significantly different from the original animal-by-product. These types of ingredients are widely used in our industry, and they are safe and effective in our products.

Sincerely,

Your friends at Klondike
