Are Airheads Halal?

Quick answer It depends

Airheads are not halal-certified. Classic Airheads taffy bars are usually made without gelatine or carmine, so many Muslims treat them as halal. Some other Airheads products, such as certain bites, gummies and Xtremes, have listed gelatine, which in the US is usually pork. Check the pack.

Airheads bars

The classic bars get their chew from sugar, corn syrup and modified starch rather than gelatine. Colours are synthetic. That makes them free of the usual haram ingredients, though the maker, Perfetti Van Melle, does not certify them halal.

Other Airheads

  • Gummies and some bites can contain gelatine.
  • Xtremes have listed gelatine in small amounts in some versions.
  • Recipes differ by product and change, so read the ingredients every time.

Airheads sold in the UK are usually US imports. See halal sweets.
