Is Hershey Halal?
Edited By Staff Writer, Halal Incorp
If you have now and again stood in the supermarket aisle near the sweets thinking about, “Is Hershey halal?” then you are not alone, a lot of people are thinking the same thing.
For a lot of Muslims, knowing whether an item aligns with Halal dietary principles or not is an important part of making food choices.

Hershey is a well known American chocolate entity & its products are widely available around the world. While the entity doesn’t label all of its items as Halal, many Hershey products are Halal-friendly.
This basically then means they don’t contain elements that are explicitly Haram (forbidden), such as pork-derived gelatin or alcohol.
Most classic Hershey’s chocolates like the milk chocolate bars, Kisses, and cocoa powder are created with ingredients like milk, sugar, cocoa butter as well as lecithin (normally from soy).
These are usually thought of as Halal. But, not all Hershey items are the same. Some may include additives, such as emulsifiers or flavourings, which could be derived from animal sources potentially.
We Visited The Hershey Website To Find Out If Their Products Are Halal. Their Website Didn’t Mention Halal But Did Mention Kosher. Kosher Can Also Be Halal Friendly:
“Hershey has chosen the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregation (OU) to certify its products as kosher.
To have a product approved as kosher, the facility, equipment and ingredients must be reviewed and certified by the OU. After all this is completed, Hershey submits the finished food product for certification.”
Always check the label and read the ingredients for further clarification.
