M&Ms are one of the most loved chocolates and from a child who's three years old to an elderly who's 45 years old are easily in love with the rainbow-colored candies. They are mouthwatering and are downright delicious. Although, recently we've been struck by the news that left our hearts broken into pieces and that my friends are that M&Ms are NOT HALAL! [caption id="attachment_172305" align="aligncenter" width="501"] Source/ Giphy[/caption] Well, recently a customer inquired if M&Ms were halal https://twitter.com/TheLifeOfBako/status/1095671756168351745 To which M&Ms responded stating, "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." https://twitter.com/mmsuk/status/1095696709198495745 They also said, 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. https://twitter.com/mmschocolate/status/1098318252525137920 After the newsflash people were NOT happy and took Twitter to express their emotions!
