Are Life Savers Halal?

Life Savers is one of the candies that most people love to eat, but if you are a Muslim and like to eat halal things, then the question arises: “Are Life Savers Halal?” Let’s understand this in simple and easy language.

What is in Life Savers?

The main ingredients of Life Savers candies are like this:

Sugar and Corn Syrup: These are generally Halal.
Artificial Flavors: They may be halal but can sometimes carry alcohol or other non-halal sources that create a problem.
Gelatin: There is some flavor content, and this contains gelatin which could be acquired from pigs or haram animals. When the origin is a pig, it is haram.
Coloring: Colors also use artificial colors; this one is halal provided that the source does not originate from an animal

– Lack of Halal Certification: Life Savers candies do not have an official halal label. Therefore, their halal status is not clear, and the source of the ingredients is not clear.

– Gelatin and Alcohol Issues: Some flavors of Life Savers may contain gelatin or alcohol-based ingredients, which makes them haram.

What should Muslims do?

Check the Halal Label:

If the Life Savers packet is halal, then that candy is fine to eat. If there’s no halal label on the packet, then it is best to avoid it.

Select Gelatin-Free Flavors:

In case you wish to have any flavor of Life Savers then go for gelatin-free and alcohol-free flavors.

Try Trusted Halal Alternatives:

If the halal version of Life Savers is not available, try other halal-certified candies like Skittles, Starburst, or local halal brands.

Final thing

Bhai, the halal status of Life Savers cannot be determined because the origin of gelatin and flavors within them is not known. If you are not certain, then it is best to avoid them. Islam commands us to eat pure things and halal things. If a product is not halal certified, then we need to avoid suspicious things.

Ameen! May Allah guide us to eat halal and pure things.
