All current Mike and Ike candies do not contain any animal derived ingredients in them:

Dear Lazeena,

There are no animal derived ingredients in our MIKE AND IKE® Brand Candies.

    Hi I'm not Muslim but I am a Vegetarian in the making and this is very helpful to me. I never thought so many chips or breads and so on could even contain animal derived ingredients! I really appreciate your hard work in this and look forward to learning more about these products! Good luck with everything

    Why does the sale rep have to be a muslim? they work just to answer customer inquiries and have access to all the product info...if theyre lying what else can we do but they risk million dollar lawsuits if they do lie so i dont see that as possible

    as-salaam alaikum,Mike and Ike contain 'shellac' as a glazing agent - and i have found that shellac is not halal,due to the nature of 'shellac'(the process it goes thru where some insect residue inevitably gets thru)- can anyone clarify this? jazakhallah (Rehana UK)

    Muslim consumer group says it's haram!
    Don't believe this website. We don't know where you got the information!

    It is not halal due to the alcohol used to break down "shellac" the glazing agent

    Don’t believe this website! Mike and Ike have Red 40 which is a red colour made from an insect. Red 40 is haram.
