About

“Sour Patch Kids are a tasty soft gummy candy with a coating of sour sugar, so the taste of the candy changes from sour to sweet. One of the driving forces behind Sour Patch Kids growth was its success in cinemas, and it became a staple for moviegoers in the U.S.”

In April 2025 we contacted Mondelez the company that owns the candy brand and asked them if their product was Halal or not, they stated:

“Thank you for your recent enquiry. Unfortunately, due to our extensive and varying range of products and the numerous ingredients and suppliers we use, it is not possible for us to provide a detailed list regarding suitability of products for specific dietary requirements.

However, Sour Patch kids are not suitable for vegetarians (contain gelatine).
Our packaging always complies with all labelling regulations, clearly stating the information we are required to declare, including the ingredients list and allergens. We hope that the on-pack information will help our consumers to make choices to suit their needs.

We are sorry that we are unable to answer your specific query on this occasion but would like to thank you again for contacting us and for your interest in our products.

Kind regards, 
Consumer Care Team”

According to the email response above it states that the product is not suitable for Vegetarians as it contains gelatine, which we the derive must be from an animal source.

Therefore according to the information available to us we believe Sour Patch Kids are not suitable for a Halal diet.
