Halal sweets for party bags

[Notbeinfunnehbut]

Hi I’m doing party bags for a dcs birthday and rather than having any issues with the sweets in the bags i want to make all of them halal sweets so there’s no issue with who gets what,

I’ve heard skittles are halal are their any other good party bag sweets that are appropriate for everyone ?

Swizzles rainbow drops and double lollies are vegetarian and I think dairy free too.

@blockpavingismynightmare ”@justaladyLOL - I think you are both confusing halal meat, with halal food in general. “Halal” means foods that Muslims consider not to be forbidden. That therefore encompasses probably almost all the food in your kitchen if you are non-Muslim - apples, yoghurt, chickpeas, carrots, fruit juice, loads and loads of other food.

Some meat is potentially permitted (eg chicken, sheep), and some meat is completely forbidden (haram), eg pigs and some others animals largely not eaten in the UK. For the permitted meat, there are also additional rules about how it’s slaughtered, in order for it to be considered halal.

You can’t therefore say that you won’t eat halal food - loads of your diet as a non-Muslim is halal. You might perhaps mean that you have an issue with the specifics of halal slaughtering process - in which case you need to be much more informed about that in order to have a serious discussion about that before posting on a thread like this.

Someone upthread said: “Once again this is not true, halal sweets contain beef gelatine they are not vegetarian, vegetarian is vegetarian, halal is halal beef gelatine”

OP, do let everyone know that the sweets are veggie as otherwise veggies and Muslim guests might just assume they can’t eat them.

Looking at the packaging of every single packet of Halal sweets I have at home, I can confirm that all of them also state they are vegetarian/vegan.

Why would your kids not eat halal??There is nothing wrong with it.What are you teaching your kids?

Speechless.

That doesn't mean that they all are though. I've seen plenty that contain fish or beef gelatine and I just posted a pic of a halal packet of sweets that contains beef gelatine.

Some will be both but just being halal doesn’t mean vegetarian this is haribo gold bears

Some people will disagree even when you show them proof in black and white that halal doesn’t equal vegetarian

Nightmare!!

That wouldn't be halal or vegetarian, so they wouldn't be labelled as such.

My DC have several Muslim friends and they always say they can have anything vegetarian. I see the Cadbury sweets are suitable for vegetarians - so you can buy those party bag size packs of chocolate buttons, twirls etc.

You’ve never eaten a vegetable or piece of fruit?
or bread?

how do you live with such a madly restricted diet? Genuinely intrigued as to what a typical mealtime is at yours

Crikey you must have a phenomenally restricted diet.

What do you drink? You one water is halal so you just the thirsty.

I just go for chocolate, rather than sweets (made that rookie mistake once).

PMSL at the racists. They didn't have to come on this thread to demonstrate their stupidity, but their racism was too strong.😆😆😆

I know that there are lots of replies to this narrow minded comment but my Muslim driving instructor often picks up a meal deal from Tesco during my lesson. Obviously he avoids the ham and cheese as hat would not be Halal! But the point is he choses something not Haram. But I expect none of this will change the poster's mind and she will no doubt be angry if her child ever receives a pack of Haribo Gold Bears in a party bag.

Starburst and Haribo strawberries 🍓 are good ones

FFS, the ignorance on this thread is unreal!

I hope that the stupid posts from @noclothesinbed and @justaladyLOL are not deleted though. Ignorance and prejudice deserve to be exposed for exactly what they are.

Lol and @blockpavingismynightmare is another one.

@MNHQ, please don't delete the stupid posts. Let them stand so that we can all see the extent of their ignorance.

Halal simply means allowed or permitted. Water is halal, there are some utter fuckwits on this thread

If you're a vegetarian everything you eat or drink that doesnt contain alcohol is classed as halal.

So you have an excellent diet already if you did want to be a muslim!👍🏽

Most hilarious post, being offended by halal haribo 😂

full list of halal and haram haribo just in case you are interested.

Hairdo Giant Strawbs and Giant Strawbs Gone Mini are vegetarian and therefore also halal. They are widely available and my usual go-to. They are sometimes mistakenly listed as vegan but they contain beeswax and therefore are not.
