Is Trident Gum Halal?

Quick answer It depends

Standard Trident gum sticks do not list gelatine, and many Muslims chew them, but Trident is not halal-certified: the brand has said it is "not certified halal". The gum base and glycerine sources are not disclosed. Gel-filled versions such as Trident Splash have contained gelatine.

Also asked as: “Does Trident gum have gelatine?” · “Does Trident gum contain pork?” · “Is Trident gum halal in the USA?”

What is in Trident

US Trident sticks are made from sorbitol, gum base, xylitol, glycerine, flavours and small amounts of additives. No gelatine is listed.

The open questions

  • Gum base: a mix of polymers and softeners. Makers do not disclose every component.
  • Glycerine: can be plant or animal. See E422.
  • Gel-filled gum: Trident Splash has listed gelatine.

Certification

Trident has said its gum is not certified halal. Not being certified does not make it haram; it means the maker has not had it audited.
