Resolution 3: UK Manufactured Smarties

Question: 

I would like to know if the Nestle Smarties available in the UK is halal or no?

(Published as received)

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Upon reviewing the Smarties UK website, it states that both SMARTIES® and Smarties® Buttons are suitable for a vegetarian diet.[1] Furthermore, no ingredients are identified as ḥarām or doubtful. Therefore, UK-manufactured Smarties are ḥalāl suitable.


And Allah knows best
