I'm not Muslim, but there should be some kind of warning for stuff like this

I was surprised to find gelatin in altoids. Didn't realize it until I ate a shyt ton of them at once and felt sick then checked the ingredients

There is, it's right in the ingredients...

Pork in gelatin is old news. Welcome to 1974, OP. Don't forget to pick up your bean pie and Final Call newspaper...

There's processed pork in a lot of stuff it seems, gelatin is the most known. I'm not Muslim but I've known this for ages. Also if I'm not mistaken, it's only forbidden for Muslims if they knowingly eat pork. If it's not written in the ingredients and they mistakenly eat some it's not their fault, so they're good.

So Muslims don’t eat jelly?

They sure as shyt don't eat jello lol, I found that out when I was talking to a muslim girl.

No troll, but your kids hold that L for eating snacks


Should be eating brocoli and chicken breast

I tend to only buy at Halal store. But if we eat and we didn't know there was porc, it's not a sin.

I’ve had to avoid a lot of candy as kid as a Muslim due to gelatin but there is bovine(cow) gelatin out there used in some food products that I’m allowed to eat.

I love pork chops, ham, and bacon

Most fruit snacks are made with gelatin. Gelatin is made from whatever is leftover from meat factories, and more often than not this includes cast off parts of the pig.

Damn...

 

[Auger]

Trust me, most muslims already know this and avoid these types of candies.

There are also Halal variants of those kinds of candies that use a substitute for Gelatin.

 

[Maude]

not 100% sure but I think that's what gives it the gumminess and I agree that should be known...I saw that on my kids fruit snacks we eat pork though.

It's the collagen from bones that causes it gel. Same with soup or broth when it cools. They use that to make geletin. In theory you could use different animal. The bigger the better but they use pigs

Not only in food. Noxeema face wash also has gelatin.

If you want to avoid pork, look for the K symbol on the package.
K=kosher


but in this instance, you might want to be concerned about the "WHITE MINERAL OIL" instead of the pork.

I usually find a circle u for pareve products

Gelatin gives them the sticky texture. Grow up and get you a man snack
