What we found about Meridian and halal
Meridian makes nut butters and spreads. UK retailer listings describe its peanut, almond and hazelnut butters as suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and Meridian says it is palm oil free.
Chocca, its chocolate spread, is described as made from peanut, hazelnut and cashew butters, and its ingredient list includes sugar. We found no halal certificate for Meridian. The plain nut butters have very few ingredients, so the spreads are the products to read.
