WHAT IS HALAL GELATIN

The word halal simply means permissible. In regard to halal gelatin, this means that the gelatin was produced without any pig based products. In the Islamic religion, this is a non-favorable animal. Therefore, any consumable products made with pigs of any type are frowned upon. There is another word called haram which means forbidden or unacceptable. This would refer to gelatin that was derived, even in a small way, from the remains of pigs. In fact, if gelatin is produced with pig remains, it is simply regarded as not gelatin. Finally, the animal from which the gelatin is produced must be derived from a slaughtering process that is in line with Islamic law.

HOW CAN YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE USING HALAL GELATIN

If an Islamic person does not have time to prepare gelatin that is devoid of pig remains, they may use vegetarian gelatin. Since it is not using any form of animal product, it will not originate from a pig, and therefore falls in line with Islamic preferences to avoid any pig based product. This type of gelatin can be used to make all kinds of desserts such as candy, pudding, chocolate, and cakes that use gelatin in the mixture. Even cheesecakes and different types of ice cream will use this plant-derived gelatin which is permissible in the Islamic community.
