About Amos Peelerz
Peelerz is a TikTok-viral peel-and-eat gummy candy brand made by Amos Sweets, where each piece has a firmer outer skin that peels away to reveal a softer juicy centre. We stock 21 flavours split across two distinct ranges: the Halal range (9 flavours, beef gelatine, halal certified) and the standard Gummy range (12 flavours, pork gelatine, not halal). Concentrated real fruit juice features across both ranges.
The two Peelerz ranges, halal and standard
This is the most important thing to understand before buying. Amos Peelerz exists in two distinct formulations, sold in similar-looking packaging, and the difference matters if you keep halal or watch what gelatine you eat. The TikTok-viral sweet that took off in 2023 was the standard range, which contains pork gelatine and is not suitable for Muslim, Jewish or pork-avoiding shoppers. The halal range is a separate Malaysian-origin formulation specifically designed to be halal compliant. Both are made by Amos Sweets, both use the same peelable format and both use concentrated real fruit juice. The recipe difference comes down to the gelling agent and a few minor formulation changes.
- Halal range (9 flavours): made with beef gelatine, halal certified. Recipe uses carrageenan and pectin as thickeners, curcumin and beta-carotene as natural colourings, coconut oil as the fat source. Suitable for Muslim shoppers, Jewish shoppers, and anyone avoiding pork.
- Standard "Gummy" range (12 flavours): made with pork gelatine, not halal. Recipe uses pectin, agar and trehalose. Confirmed directly by Amos Sweets in correspondence quoted by halalincorp.co.uk in 2025: "Our current gummy products are made using pork gelatin, and as such, they are not halal." This is the original viral product and the one most UK importers stock.
Both ranges share the same peelable mechanic and the same fruit-shaped pieces, so visually they look almost identical on shelf. The halal range is clearly labelled as such on the bag (look for "Halal" on the front), and the products in our halal collection are all halal-line products only. If you are buying for a mixed household, the two ranges work alongside each other; if you are buying specifically because you need halal, ignore the standard range and pick from the nine halal flavours below.
The 9 halal Peelerz flavours we stock
All nine halal flavours come in the same 65g sealed bag format. Each pack contains peelable fruit-shaped gummies made with beef gelatine and certified halal at the production site. The format is identical to the standard range, only the gelatine source and a few minor recipe details differ.
| Flavour | Profile |
|---|---|
| Watermelon | Refreshing classic watermelon, sweet rather than sour, shaped like watermelon slices |
| Pineapple | Tangy-sweet tropical pineapple with 4.1% concentrated pineapple juice in the recipe |
| Peach | Soft sweet peach with a juicy centre, less tart than the citrus flavours in the range |
| Passion Fruit | The most exotic flavour in the range, tropical-tart with a distinctive passion fruit perfume |
| Mango | Ripe mango with concentrated mango juice, one of the most popular halal flavours globally |
| Lychee | Floral, fragrant lychee with concentrated lychee juice, a flavour rarely found in Western confectionery |
| Kiwi | Tangy green kiwi with a slightly tart edge, sweeter than the green apple in the same range |
| Green Apple | Crisp, tart green apple, the most sour-leaning flavour in the halal range |
| Grape | Bold sweet grape, shaped like clustered grapes, the most "candy-shop" flavour profile in the range |
The 12 standard Peelerz flavours we stock
The standard range is the original Peelerz line that went viral on TikTok in 2023. All twelve flavours come in 65g sealed bags. These use pork gelatine and are not halal. They include several flavours not available in the halal range (Strawberry, Orange, Banana, Raspberry) for shoppers who want the full Amos Peelerz flavour wall regardless of dietary credentials.
| Flavour | Profile |
|---|---|
| Pineapple | Tangy tropical pineapple, the standard-recipe counterpart to the halal pineapple product |
| Kiwi | Tart kiwi with a slightly sweeter centre than the halal version |
| Passion Fruit | Exotic passion fruit with a distinctive tropical-tart profile |
| Watermelon | Classic sweet watermelon, shaped like watermelon slices |
| Strawberry | Sweet ripe strawberry, candy-strawberry rather than fresh-strawberry, a flavour not available in the halal line |
| Peach | Soft sweet peach, the standard-recipe counterpart to the halal peach product |
| Orange | Bright citrus orange with concentrated orange juice, only available in the standard range |
| Banana | Sweet ripe banana flavour, only available in the standard range |
| Raspberry | Tart-sweet raspberry, brighter than the strawberry, only available in the standard range |
| Mango | Ripe tropical mango, the standard-recipe counterpart to the halal mango |
| Lychee | Floral fragrant lychee, the standard-recipe counterpart to the halal lychee |
| Grape | Bold sweet grape, shaped like clustered grapes |
Ingredients and allergens
The two ranges have similar but not identical ingredient lists. Below are the standard listings as printed on the back of UK bags. Always check the back of the individual bag for the most current allergen and dietary information, since recipes can vary slightly between production runs and regional manufacturing sites.
Halal Peelerz (representative listing for Pineapple 65g):
Glucose syrup, sugar, water, concentrated apple juice 5.2%, concentrated pineapple juice 4.1%, beef gelatine, humectant (glycerol), acids (citric acid, sodium citrate, malic acid), thickeners (carrageenan), natural flavouring, coconut oil, stabiliser (potassium citrate), dextrose, glazing agent (carnauba wax), colour (curcumin), thickeners (pectin).
Allergen advice on the halal range: may contain traces of milk and sulphites due to shared facility production. No wheat, no nuts, no eggs, no soya as direct ingredients. The halal range uses beef gelatine and is therefore suitable for shoppers who keep halal, who avoid pork specifically, or who follow most kosher guidelines (note: full kosher certification has not been confirmed and observant shoppers should check the bag).
Standard Peelerz (representative listing for Banana 65g):
Glucose syrup, sugar, water, concentrated banana juice 7.2%, concentrated apple juice 5.0%, pork gelatine, humectant (glycerol), trehalose, thickener (pectin, agar), acidity regulators (citric acid, malic acid, sodium citrate, sodium hexametaphosphate), natural flavouring, palm oil, sweetener (maltitol), glazing agent (carnauba wax), colour (E100 curcumin).
Allergen advice on the standard range: contains pork gelatine and is not suitable for Muslim, Jewish or pork-avoiding shoppers. Otherwise free from the major UK allergens (no wheat, no eggs, no nuts, no soya, no dairy as direct ingredients), although shared facility traces may apply. Both ranges contain real fruit juice concentrate rather than flavouring alone, which is part of the brand's positioning and is responsible for the slightly jammy centre that gives Peelerz the texture difference from standard gummies.
Who Amos Peelerz is for
Muslim, Jewish and pork-avoiding households: the halal range exists for exactly this audience. The format and the flavours are the same as the viral TikTok version, but the gelatine is beef-sourced and the production is halal certified, so shoppers who normally can't buy peelable gummies because of dietary restrictions can buy these. Stick to the nine halal products above; the twelve standard flavours contain pork gelatine.
TikTok and short-form video audiences: Peelerz is the original peelable gummy, and if you have seen the format on social and want to try it, this is the brand that started it. The peel-then-eat mechanic is the appeal, not just the flavour, and the gummies are shaped like miniature versions of the fruit they represent (orange segments, watermelon slices, grape clusters) which is part of what makes the format film-friendly.
Tropical and Asian flavour palates: Peelerz covers ground that UK supermarket gummy ranges generally don't. Lychee, passion fruit, mango, kiwi and green apple are unusual flavours in standard British confectionery, and they appear in both the halal and standard ranges. Shoppers who grew up with Southeast Asian or South Asian fruit profiles will find more familiar flavours here than in the typical Haribo or Maynards mix.
Kids and teens building a sweet drawer: the 65g sealed bag is the right size for a single sitting or two smaller portions, and the peelable format gives the eating experience some novelty rather than just being another bag of gummies. Build a mix of halal and standard flavours past the £20 free delivery threshold and the order qualifies for free UK delivery.
Pick-and-mix builders: Peelerz works as a centrepiece of a TikTok-trend mix-and-match basket. Combine the halal flavours with other halal-certified sweets for a halal-friendly selection, or mix the standard range with other American imports for a viral-snack basket. Cross-shop our halal sweets range or our gummies and jellies range to round out the order.
How to eat Peelerz: the peel-and-chew technique
This is a search-engine question that often catches first-time buyers off guard, so worth covering. Each Peelerz piece has two distinct layers. The firmer outer skin is designed to be peeled away by hand: pinch the edge of the "skin" between thumb and forefinger and pull gently. It will come away in one or two pieces depending on how cold the gummy is. Underneath is a softer, juicier centre that holds most of the fruit-juice flavour. You can eat the skin and the centre separately, or together for the full combined taste experience. Refrigerating the bag for 20 to 30 minutes before eating makes the skin peel cleaner and the centre firmer to bite. The peeling step is part of the brand's appeal and is what made the format film-friendly on TikTok, so if you are buying for the experience rather than just the taste, do not skip the peel.
Buy Amos Peelerz online in the UK
All 21 flavours are stocked in the 65g sealed-bag format across both ranges. To qualify for free UK delivery, build the basket past £20: trying the full nine-flavour halal range gets you most of the way there, or mix across the two ranges to round out the order. Orders placed before our daily cut-off are dispatched the same working day. Note that most UK supermarkets do not carry Amos Peelerz at all, halal or standard, so this is one of the few brands where specialist online retail is the only practical way to buy in the UK outside of the occasional convenience-store appearance.
Amos Peelerz UK: frequently asked questions
Are Peelerz halal?
It depends on which range you buy. Amos Peelerz exists in two distinct formulations. The standard Peelerz range, which is the TikTok-viral original product and the version most UK importers stock, contains pork gelatine and is not halal. Amos Sweets confirmed this directly in correspondence with halalincorp.co.uk in 2025. The separate Halal Peelerz range, originally produced by the Malaysian arm of Amos Sweets, uses beef gelatine instead and is halal certified at the production site. We stock both ranges, clearly separated. If you keep halal, choose only from the nine halal flavours above (Watermelon, Pineapple, Peach, Passion Fruit, Mango, Lychee, Kiwi, Green Apple, Grape), each labelled with "Halal" on the front of the bag. The twelve flavours in the standard "Gummy" range contain pork gelatine and are not suitable for halal-keeping shoppers.
What is the difference between Halal Peelerz and standard Peelerz?
The two ranges share the same peelable dual-layer format, the same fruit-shaped pieces and the same concentrated real fruit juice approach. The main differences are the gelling agent and a few minor recipe adjustments. The Halal range uses beef gelatine, carrageenan as a thickener, curcumin and beta-carotene for colour, and coconut oil as the fat source. The standard range uses pork gelatine, pectin and agar as thickeners, trehalose as a humectant and palm oil. The Halal range comes from Amos Sweets' Malaysian production line and is halal certified at source. The standard range is the original recipe that went viral on TikTok in 2023 and contains pork gelatine.
What flavours of Peelerz are available?
Twenty-one flavours in total across the two ranges. The Halal range has nine flavours: Watermelon, Pineapple, Peach, Passion Fruit, Mango, Lychee, Kiwi, Green Apple and Grape. The standard Gummy range has twelve flavours: Pineapple, Kiwi, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, Strawberry, Peach, Orange, Banana, Raspberry, Mango, Lychee and Grape. Eight fruits appear in both ranges, so shoppers who want the same flavour in either recipe have a choice. Strawberry, Orange, Banana and Raspberry are only available in the standard range. Green Apple is only available in the Halal range. All flavours are sold in 65g sealed bags.
How do you eat Peelerz?
Each Peelerz piece has two layers. Pinch the edge of the firmer outer "skin" between thumb and forefinger and pull gently to peel it away. Underneath is a softer juicier centre that holds most of the fruit-juice flavour. You can eat the skin and the centre separately, or together for the full combined taste. Refrigerating the bag for 20 to 30 minutes before eating makes the skin peel more cleanly and gives the centre a firmer bite. The peeling step is part of the appeal of the format and is what made Peelerz film-friendly on TikTok in 2023.
Are Peelerz gluten-free?
Both ranges are gluten-free as a recipe formulation, since the ingredient list contains no wheat, barley or rye. Amos Sweets does not provide formal gluten-free certification at batch level, so shoppers with coeliac disease or severe gluten sensitivity should check the individual bag before consuming. The brand notes that production is in shared facilities, so traces cannot be guaranteed absent for highly sensitive shoppers.
Are Peelerz vegetarian or vegan?
No. Both ranges contain animal-derived gelatine, so Peelerz is neither vegetarian nor vegan. The Halal range uses beef gelatine, the standard range uses pork gelatine. Vegan and vegetarian shoppers looking for a peelable or chewy gummy alternative should look at gelatine-free brands made with pectin or modified starch instead.
Where else can I buy Peelerz in the UK?
Amos Peelerz is not currently stocked by the major UK supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose) at a national level. UK distribution runs primarily through specialist sweet retailers, American candy importers, and occasional convenience-store appearances. Amazon stocks both ranges via third-party sellers, with the Halal range in particular harder to find on supermarket shelves than the standard range, since most UK importers focus on the viral standard line rather than the Malaysian halal version.
