Is PG Tips Halal?
PG Tips is halal. Plain black tea contains no animal-derived ingredients and raises no halal concerns.
Ingredients
PG Tips Original: Black Tea. That is the entire ingredient list. No E-codes, no additives, no animal derivatives.
Tea Bags — Material Concern?
Older tea bags used polypropylene (a plastic) in the bag sealing. PG Tips has moved toward plant-based, compostable bag materials. Neither the old nor new bag material presents a halal concern.
PG Tips Green Tea and Flavoured Varieties
Green tea bags: pure green tea, no additives — halal.
Flavoured varieties (e.g. lemon, mint): check for any flavouring additives. Standard natural flavourings in tea are halal.
Milk — Your Responsibility
Whether you add halal milk to your PG Tips is your own check. The tea itself is unequivocally halal.
