What we found about Bonne Maman and halal
We did not find an official halal statement from Bonne Maman for its UK conserves.
The Damson Conserve listing on Sainsbury's gives the ingredients as damson plums, sugar, brown cane sugar, concentrated lemon juice and fruit pectins, with 50g of fruit per 100g of product. It does not list gelatine or any animal-derived ingredient, and it makes no halal claim.
Check the ingredient list on the jar you buy, since recipes can change, and contact Bonne Maman if you need a written answer.
