Are Sour Patch Kids Halal?

Quick answer It depends

It depends on where they were made. US Sour Patch Kids are made without gelatine, so many Muslims eat them, though they are not halal-certified. Some UK and European Sour Patch Kids have listed gelatine, which is usually pork, so check the pack: if it says gelatine with no source, avoid it.

Also asked as: “Do Sour Patch Kids have gelatine?” · “Are Sour Patch Kids vegan?” · “Can Muslims eat Sour Patch Kids?” · “Are UK Sour Patch Kids halal?”

US and UK recipes differ

The original US Sour Patch Kids are made from sugar, invert sugar, corn syrup, starch, acids, flavours and colours, with no gelatine. Several UK varieties have listed gelatine. Some flavours, such as watermelon, have been sold in the UK with a vegan label.

What to check

  • "Gelatine" or "gelatin" in the ingredients.
  • A vegan label, which rules out gelatine.
  • Colours: standard Sour Patch Kids use synthetic colours rather than carmine, but limited editions can differ.

Sour Patch Kids are not halal-certified in the UK or US. See halal sweets.
