Halal products are those that comply with Islamic dietary laws and are suitable for consumption by Muslims. At Sweetzone, we understand the importance of halal certification and take great care to ensure our confectionery is produced to meet strict halal requirements, giving our customers confidence in every product.
Islamic dietary laws set clear requirements for how food should be produced and prepared. These principles help ensure that halal products are made with permitted ingredients and handled in a way that maintains their halal integrity.
How Sweetzone Ensures Its Products Are Halal
Every Sweetzone product is manufactured with halal requirements in mind. We carefully select ingredients, avoid prohibited substances such as non-halal gelatine and E120 (carmine), and maintain strict production standards to ensure our products remain suitable for halal consumers. Our jelly sweets, marshmallows, fruit chews, bubble gum and liquorice products are HMC certified, providing additional reassurance for our customers.
Meat from pigs
Meat from pigs is not allowed, so there is no such thing as halal pork and halal meat must never come into contact with pig meat or anything else that has been in contact with pig meat to avoid contamination.
Blood
Blood is considered harmful to consume; as part of its preparation halal meat should be drained completely of blood, which also keeps the meat fresher for longer.
Carnivores
Halal meat must never include nor come into contact with meat from carnivores or birds of prey.
Carrion
Humans should not make food from an already dead animal, so meat prepared in the halal way is killed as an integral part of the slaughter process.
Strangulation, beating, goring or savaging
To be halal, animals must be killed quickly in a certain way, it is unacceptable to eat meat from an animal that has been strangled, beaten, gored or savaged by other animals.
