Response to Ende Kirküc in the Facebook group Halalcheck

[This article is a response to a question posed byEnder Kirküc in the Facebook group Halalcheck on April 30, 2021. The question can be found at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/helalgermany.gruppe/permalink/4176182639066949] 

 

Hello, Ender Kirküc,

I founded the Halal Online Shop during the refugee debate in March 2016 because I wanted to offer help to refugees and refugee shelters. It was intended as a small side project alongside my work and has now developed into a small business.

The goal of this company is to enable Muslim families to buy sweets for their children without hesitation.

The following should be noted regarding gelatin: most manufacturers of halal-certified fruit gums use either bovine gelatin from Brazil or Turkey. These are the two countries where halal-certified gelatin is most widely produced and used by manufacturers. We have decided to only offer sweets that contain bovine gelatin from Turkey. The company that produces the bovine gelatin is called Halavet Gıda and is based in Istanbul. We search worldwide for candy manufacturers that are halal certified and source gelatin from Turkey from this company. This gelatin is certified by Türk Standardları Enstitüsü (TSE):https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0004/0370/1801/files/Sweetzone_TSE_HALAL_Zertifikat.PDF?v=1600862091 Because all of our sweets use this gelatin, you will also find this certificate prominently displayed on the page. 

In addition, we only list sweets that do not contain carmine (E number 120). This is often used as a red coloring agent in fruit gums.

Another point we pay attention to is that the sweets do not contain ethanol as a carrier substance in their flavorings. This does not have to be explicitly stated by the manufacturer in the list of ingredients and must therefore be requested separately from the manufacturer. We therefore do not list "normal" vegan sweets, but only those that are halal-certified and do not contain ethanol.

I have never seen shellac (E904) listed in any ingredient lists. If it were to appear, this would also be a criterion for exclusion.

We currently stock sweets from the brands Sweetzone, Haribo, and Miralina's Halal Sweets in our shop.

Regardless of the gelatin, the manufacturing process and the factory or production facility must also be halal certified. These separate halal certificates can be found under the product images for each product:

 

 

From September 2021, we will only list the brands Miralina's Halal Sweets and Haribo Halal.

I hope I was able to answer your questions.
