Are M&M’s halal?

Classic M&M’s (chocolate, peanut) sold in Europe list no gelatine among their ingredients. On paper, the composition looks acceptable.

However, Mars does not certify M&M’s halal and has publicly stated they are not suitable for halal diets as production lines are not audited. Some editions in other countries have contained debated additives or colourings.

In practice: many Muslims consume them based on the ingredient list; stricter consumers choose certified chocolate instead. Always check the exact edition in your hands — recipes vary by country.
