For those who are consuming the colourfull sweet treats named M&M’s from the UK, it might be a disappoint as it not Halal and also not for vegetarian consumers. The product brand from the UK has just confirmed Muslim it.
“M&M’s are not suitable for a Halal diet”, the brand revealed on Twitter a couple of days ago and the revelation has just left the M&M’s fans in frenzy.
The official M&M’s UK in the tweet wrote: 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

This came in response to a query raised by a consumer about the product, to which M&M’s UK officials made the confirmation.
@mmsuk question: are M&Ms Halal? 😭

So next time if you are buying the product do check the label and ingredients thoroughly. As that’s not the case all around. There are also selected few halal-friendly M&M products are indicated as such on the package.
The recent confirmation did cause a wave of resentment in the Muslim community.
