Are Gummy Vitamins Halal?

Quick answer It depends

Many gummy vitamins use pork or unspecified gelatine and are not halal. Choose ones labelled halal, vegetarian or vegan, which use pectin instead. Also check vitamin D3, which may come from lanolin or fish.

Gelatine vs pectin

Pectin is fruit-based and halal. "Gelatine" without a source is usually pork in UK products.
