Is Nimm2 Splash Halal?

Is Nimm2 Splash Halal?

Nimm2 is Storck’s long-running vitamin-fortified sweet brand, and Splash is one of several fruit-gum lines sold under the “Lachgummi” name alongside Softies and Frutivity. The gum texture that defines the product comes from gelatine, and the ingredient panel gives no further detail — no species named, no slaughter method, no certification logo.

That absence is the whole story. Under the mainstream Sunni position applied consistently across this site — the same standard used for Wagon Wheels and Nimm2’s uncertified-gelatine peers — gelatine without confirmed halal-slaughtered sourcing is not halal, whether it turns out to be beef, pork, or a mix. Storck has not published anything to resolve the question one way or the other, and no halal certification exists for the product to close the gap.

The rest of the ingredient list — glucose syrup, sugar, fruit juice concentrate, citric acid, plant-based colouring concentrates (black carrot, spirulina, turmeric extract), and added vitamins — is not itself a concern. The gelatine is the entire issue.

How we reached this verdict

We checked the following Tier-1 sources before publishing this verdict:

• Halal certification bodies (HMC, HFA, IFANCA): no Nimm2 or Storck certification found in any current directory.
• Manufacturer/product ingredient lists: current Nimm2 Lachgummi/Splash ingredient panels confirm gelatine as an ingredient with no source or slaughter-method disclosure.
• Sunni fatwa scholarship across the four madhabs: gelatine from an unconfirmed source is treated as impermissible under the dominant Hanafi position and shared by Maliki and Shafi’i cautionary rulings, the same standard applied elsewhere on this site to uncertified beef- or unspecified-gelatine products.

Madhab note

The four Sunni madhabs broadly converge on the rules applied in this guide:

• Gelatine from an unconfirmed source — treated as impermissible under the dominant Hanafi position and shared by Maliki and Shafi’i cautionary rulings; a minority of contemporary scholars accept istihāla (transformation) for gelatine, but we publish the majority position.
• Absence of certification — where the manufacturer discloses nothing about sourcing, all four madhabs converge on treating the ingredient as unresolved rather than giving it the benefit of the doubt.

If your madhab differs on the istihāla question for gelatine, consult a competent scholar in your tradition for a binding ruling.
