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.

Sunny Delight (Orange Juice Drink)

I never really liked this for some reason... I remember when I was younger on the news I'd heard there was a young girl who for a while drank almost an entire liter of this stuff a day and her skin color started having an orange glow from it! haha

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for contacting Sunny D.

None of our Sunny D versions contain animal fats or animal by-products.

Thank you again for your inquiry.

Have a wonderful day!

Sincerely,
Sunny Delight Beverages Co Consumer Relations Department

Smartfood: White Cheddar Popcorn

Ah, how I miss thee!

Dear Lazeena:

We are pleased to respond to your recent inquiry concerning pork-related ingredients used in some of our seasoned products.

While some Frito-Lay snacks do contain enzymes from porcine sources, many do not.

Smartfood has animal enzymes in the cheese.

Sincerely,

Skippy Peanut Butter

Skippy says that when buying their peanut butters, to look out for the following ingredients as they may come from animal sources:

• Meat
• Fat
• Extract

Yes... very vague and I doubt they would be exactly listed as such on the label. The person who replied back didn't seem that friendly. In the question I sent I just mentioned that I was Muslim and that I follow a certain diet (due to religious laws) and they responded weirdly to it... or maybe it's just me!

Hi Lazeena,

Our products are formulated for use by the majority of consumers and not specifically for those on restricted diets.

Ingredients derived from animal origins may be listed as meat, fat and extract (e.g., chicken, beef or natural flavors).

Changes in existing products can occur without notification. We suggest reading all ingredient labels carefully.

Hope this information is helpful! Your friends at Skippy

UHMM....?? Maybe I'll try again and maybe someone else may respond and make more sense!

Ellio's Frozen Pizza

I used to LOVE these as a kid. So easy to make, and in my opinion, were pretty tasty for a frozen pizza. However, after realizing there was no kosher symbol I stopped eating it when I was like... 11. Almost 10 years later, it's still not certified kosher, or halal, because they get their cheese from a variety sources, therefore they're not able to keep track of where enzymes come from.

I found this before emailing them while checking their FAQ section

Nestle Nips

Nestle's Nips (all flavors except 'Buttered Rum') is halal and made using only vegetable derived ingredients, as confirmed by Nestle.

Pepperidge Farm Breads

Pepperidge Farm says that the only ingredient in their bread which can even be derived from animals are the mono and diglycerides. However, they get theirs from a plant source.
