Halal Sweets
There's something special about knowing your favourite treats meet your dietary requirements. When you're looking for halal sweets, you want complete confidence that every ingredient has been carefully selected and certified. That's why we've created this dedicated collection; so you can enjoy traditional British confectionery and international favourites, all with proper halal certification.
What makes sweets halal?
The answer goes beyond just avoiding pork gelatine. Halal sweets must be free from any animal-derived ingredients that haven't been prepared according to Islamic guidelines. This includes gelatine, certain E-numbers, and even some colourings. Our suppliers ensure every ingredient meets strict halal standards, from the glucose syrup to the natural flavourings. We work with manufacturers who understand these requirements inside out.
Which types of halal sweets can I find?
You'll discover an impressive variety in our halal range. From classic boiled sweets with their long-lasting flavours to soft and chewy textures that children adore, there's something for everyone. Our fizzy sweets deliver that tongue-tingling sensation without compromising on halal standards. And if you're after something more traditional, our jelly and gummy sweets come in all sorts of shapes and flavours, from fruity bears to cola bottles.
Are there halal versions of classic British sweets?
Absolutely! Many beloved British sweets now come in halal-certified versions. You'll find foam sweets with that distinctive texture, colourful lollipops perfect for party bags, and even liquorice sweets for those who love that unique flavour. Our £1 sweet bags often include halal options, making it easy to try different varieties without breaking the bank.
What about chocolate and toffees?
Good news for chocolate lovers, many chocolate treats in our collection carry halal certification. From chocolate-covered nuts to creamy bars, you don't have to miss out. Our toffees range includes both traditional butter toffees and modern twists, all made without any questionable ingredients.
How do I know which sweets are suitable?
Every product in this category has been verified as halal. We mark all certifications, and our team regularly checks with manufacturers to ensure nothing has changed in their recipes. If you're shopping for vegetarian sweets or vegan sweets as well, you'll notice many halal sweets naturally fall into these categories too, as they avoid animal-derived ingredients altogether.
Where can I learn more about ingredients?
Understanding what goes into your sweets matters. Our blog post about reading sweet ingredients breaks down common additives and E-numbers. We also have a helpful guide on choosing sweets for special diets that covers halal, kosher, vegetarian and vegan options.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are halal sweets made from?
Halal sweets are made from ingredients that comply with Islamic dietary laws, using plant-based gelling agents or halal-certified gelatine instead of regular animal gelatine. Common ingredients include glucose syrup, sugar, modified starch, fruit juices, and natural flavourings, all sourced from permissible sources.
Which popular sweets brands offer halal options?
Many mainstream confectionery brands now offer halal-certified versions of their popular sweets. Haribo produces specific halal ranges, Swizzels offers several halal options, and brands like Kingsway and Hannah's have extensive halal collections covering everything from fizzy belts to chocolate treats.
Can I find halal pick and mix sweets?
Halal pick and mix is increasingly available at sweet shops across the UK, with dedicated halal sections becoming more common. Look for clearly labelled halal pick and mix stations, or ask staff to point out which sweets in the general selection carry halal certification.
Are vegan sweets always halal?
Vegan sweets are often halal since they contain no animal products whatsoever, but this isn't guaranteed as halal certification also covers processing methods and potential alcohol-based flavourings. Always check for specific halal certification rather than assuming vegan sweets meet halal requirements.
