Are Mars Bars and Snickers Halal?

Quick answer It depends

Mars, Snickers, Twix and Maltesers made for the UK are not halal-certified, but their standard recipes contain no meat, gelatine or alcohol. Many Muslims eat them after checking the pack.

What to look for

These bars contain milk, sugar, glucose syrup, cocoa, plant fats and emulsifiers. The main thing to check is whey or milk ingredients, and any new flavour or limited edition.

How to check it yourself

Recipes differ between countries and change over time. Look for a halal logo, then read the ingredients on the pack you are holding — or scan the barcode and let our halal checker flag anything doubtful.
