Ingredients and allergens
The halal-certified range uses beef gelatine in place of pork gelatine, sourced from halal-certified suppliers. The vegan range uses pectin and starch in place of gelatine. Both ranges are non-GMO, fat-free and sodium-free as core formulation. Standard ingredients across the range include sugar, glucose syrup, citric acid, malic acid, natural and artificial flavours, fruit and vegetable concentrates for colour, and either gelatine (halal range) or pectin/starch (vegan range). Always check the back of each individual pack for the exact ingredient and allergen information.
Who Candy Break is for
Halal-and-American-candy households: Candy Break sits in a small group of brands that combine halal certification with American gummy format. The halal-certified gummies match what UK Muslim households typically struggle to find in mainstream American candy imports.
Vegan candy shoppers: the dedicated Vegan Mixed Fruits and Vegan Tropical bags offer gelatine-free gummies in proper American style, in parallel to options like Mike and Ike and Sour Patch Kids.
Sour candy fans: the Sour Neon Worms and Sour Neon Bears compete directly with mainstream sour gummy formats. Pair with our sour sweets for a fuller sour selection.
Health-conscious snackers: the non-GMO, sodium-free and fat-free credentials position Candy Break as a slightly better-for-you gummy candy compared to standard American imports. Not health food, but a meaningful step up from typical mainstream gummies.

Candy Break sweets: frequently asked questions
Is Candy Break halal certified?
Yes, the Candy Break halal range is formally halal certified, using beef gelatine sourced from halal-certified suppliers in place of pork gelatine. The brand also operates a parallel vegan product line which uses pectin and starch in place of gelatine, making both ranges suitable for different dietary requirements. Halal certification appears on the relevant product packs.
Is Candy Break vegan?
Some Candy Break products are vegan, but not all. The brand operates two parallel product lines: a halal-certified range (which uses beef gelatine) and a vegan range (which uses pectin and starch in place of gelatine). The Vegan Mixed Fruits and Vegan Tropical bags are the vegan-suitable variants. The halal range is not vegan because of the gelatine.
Is Candy Break gluten-free?
Candy Break gummies are generally gluten-free as a core recipe formulation, since the recipe does not include wheat, barley or rye. The brand markets the range as non-GMO, sodium-free and fat-free. For formal gluten-free certification (relevant for medical coeliac dietary requirements), always check the back of the specific pack as the certification may not appear consistently across all products.
What's the difference between Candy Break and other halal gummy brands?
Candy Break is the rare halal gummy brand that comes from the US rather than Europe or the Middle East, which means it delivers the American gummy candy format (neon worms, gummy bears, cola bottles) with formal halal certification. Most halal gummy alternatives are Turkish (like Bebeto) or British (like Shades by Niko). Candy Break fills the American halal gap.
