M&M’s Are Not Halal In Some Countries And One Twitter Account Simply Won’t Accept The Information
This weekend the news that M&Ms are not halal in some countries broke.
And to say people were ripping is an understatement.
It started with a brief response from the M&M’S UK Twitter account stating, ‘M&M’s are not suitable for a Halal diet.’
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. M&M’s are not suitable for a Halal diet. We use additives that come from animal products when we’re making M&M’s and traces of these can be found in the sweets. Kind regards

They then cleared things up by announcing CERTAIN countries do have halal M&M’s and it’s mentioned on the packaging
We sell quality products all over the world & seek to meet our consumers’ needs in each market where we operate. In some countries, this includes certifying our products as Halal. Where we have Halal-certified products, this is indicated on the product packaging.

Twitter is doing the most with tweets hoping to unsee the whole thing

Like it’s not even happening
While others are simply NOT accepting the news
A Twitter account using the handle ‘Muslim Matters’ has pretty much said ‘thanks, but no thanks for the info’. The account stated ‘it is also not appropriate for M&M to determine halal standards without referring to Muslim scholars’ and in a follow up tweet demanded a full ingredients list from the world-famous confectionary brand.
Dear @mmsuk
We appreciate your concern for Muslim consumers regarding halal diets.However, just like you cannot determine kosher for Jews (has to be rabbinical determination), it is also not appropriate for M&M to determine halal standards without referring to Muslim scholars

The news you can’t unread
M&M’S are haram in some countries and the controversy is not going to die down and anytime soon.
