Halal 1kg pic and mix

This 1 kg of Halal pick and mix

Description

• Customizable Selection:

  A "pick and mix" allows you to choose from a variety of individual sweets to create your own personalized bag or bucket of sweets. 

• Halal Certification:

  The crucial aspect is that all the sweets in the selection are certified as halal, ensuring they meet Islamic requirements. 

• Variety of Flavours and Textures:

  Like traditional pick and mix, you'll find different types of sweets, including chewy jelly sweets, fizzy sweets, sour sweets, and chocolate-coated items. 

Key Ingredients to Look For (or Avoid)

• Halal Gelatine:

  Instead of pork gelatine, which is common in many non-halal sweets, halal pick and mix uses beef gelatine that has been slaughtered according to Islamic principles. Alternatives include pectin, modified starch, or corn starch. 

• No Alcohol:

  Any sweets containing alcohol-based flavourings are unsuitable for a halal selection. 

• Certified Manufacturing:

  The facility where the sweets are made and packaged must also be free from cross-contamination with non-halal substances. 

Common Ingredients Found in Halal Pick and Mix Sweets

• Sweeteners: Glucose syrup, sugar, dextrose. 

• Acids: Citric acid, malic acid, fumaric acid. 

• Acidity Regulators: To maintain balance and texture. 

• Flavourings: Artificial and natural flavourings. 

• Colours: Various food colours, including those that may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children (always check the label). 

• Other Ingredients: Apple juice concentrate, water, palm oil, and glazing agents can also be present. 

How to Find Halal Pick and Mix

• Look for Halal Symbols:

  Some retailers will have a green 'V' symbol for vegan-friendly (and therefore halal) options or specific halal labels. 

• Check Product Information:

  Always read the ingredient list and allergy advice on the packaging or the retailer's website for the most accurate information.
