Halal Brand Guide

Dare Foods holds no halal certification. The verdict splits by product line: Whippet cookies have a marshmallow centre made with pork gelatine, which Dare confirms is pork-derived — Haram. RealFruit gummies are certified plant-based and contain no gelatine — the lowest-risk line. Most cookies and crackers (Bear Paws, Breton) carry source-ambiguous emulsifiers such as E471 and are Mushbooh. Check the line before you buy.

Harvey's does not hold any halal certification. Its own FAQ confirms the beef and chicken are not halal — the meat is not zabiha and is not slaughtered to an Islamic standard. No Harvey's location appears on Canada's Halal Monitoring Authority (HMA) certified-restaurant list. The core burger and chicken menu is therefore Mushbooh; the veggie burger and plain sides avoid the meat issue but are prepared in a non-halal kitchen.

Danio (by Danone) is Mushbooh in the UK. The good news: UK Danio yogurts do not contain E120 (carmine/cochineal) — the strawberry flavour uses black carrot concentrate as its red colourant. There is no gelatin in any UK Danio variant; stabilisers are pectin, guar gum, and carrageenan (all plant-derived). The concerns are natural flavouring with an undisclosed source and the complete absence of halal certification from Danone UK.

Kirkland Signature has no blanket halal certification in the US. The verdict depends entirely on the product: multivitamin gummies (US) contain porcine gelatin and are haram; granola bars use unverified glycerin and natural flavour and are mushbooh; chewy protein bars (peanut butter) carry no gelatin and use vegetable glycerin — rated halal-suitable by IlmHub. Plain nuts, oils, and pantry staples are halal by ingredient.

United States · Protein bars, Granola bars

Monster Munch (Walkers/PepsiCo UK) is Mushbooh. All three flavours — Roast Beef, Pickled Onion, and Sweet & Spicy Flamin' Hot — are officially listed as suitable for vegetarians, confirming there are no animal-derived meat or flavouring ingredients. The single concern is E635 (disodium 5'-ribonucleotides), a flavour enhancer present in all three flavours whose commercial source is not disclosed by Walkers. Walkers explicitly states its products are not halal or kosher certified.
