Is Chupa Chups Halal?

Quick answer It depends

Classic Chupa Chups lollipops contain no gelatine and are listed as halal by retailers in several countries, but UK packs do not usually carry a halal logo. Chupa Chups chewy sweets, gummies and some creamy or filled lollipops can contain gelatine or animal-derived colours, so check the pack.

Lollipops

Standard hard Chupa Chups are made from sugar, glucose syrup, acids, flavourings and colours, with no gelatine. Retailers in Singapore and other Muslim-majority markets sell many of them as halal. The UK packs are made for Europe and are not marketed as halal-certified.

What to check

  • Gelatine in chews, gummies and some filled or "Melody" style products.
  • Carmine (E120) in red and pink colours, which scholars differ on.
  • Milk in creamy flavours: halal, but not vegan.
  • A halal logo, if you want certainty.

Chupa Chups is made by Perfetti Van Melle, which also makes Mentos, Fruittella and Airheads.
