Are Jolly Ranchers Halal?

Quick answer It depends

Jolly Rancher hard candies contain no gelatine, so many Muslims treat them as halal, although Hershey does not certify them. Jolly Rancher gummies, chews and bites contain gelatine, which in the US is usually pork, so they are not halal unless the pack shows a halal logo.

Hard candy

Classic Jolly Rancher hard candies are made from corn syrup, sugar, acids, flavourings and synthetic colours. There is no gelatine or carmine in the standard US recipe.

Gummies and chews

Jolly Rancher Gummies, Soft Chews and Bites list gelatine with no source. Treat this as not halal.

Buying in the UK

Jolly Ranchers in UK shops are usually US imports. Some imported US sweets have been withdrawn in the UK for not meeting UK rules, so buy from a reputable shop and read the label.
