Many talk about the great taste of Hi-Chew, but as a Muslim consumer, I make sure that it meets the dietary requirements before buying anything. So, if you’re reading this article, surely you are like me.
In this blog post, I will check whether Hi-Chew candies follow Islamic guidelines or contain some haram ingredients. Let’s dive in.
About Hi-Chew and Its Ingredients & Flavors
Hi-Chew is a famous brand of chewy owned by Morinaga and offers a wide variety of flavors, including Strawberry, Grape, Green Apple, Watermelon, Original, & Exotic Mix.
Hi-Chew is made using the following ingredients:
- Sweeteners (Glucose Syrup & Sugar)
- Vegetable Oil
- Gelatin
- Natural and Artificial Flavors
- Acids
- Juice Concentrate
- Sucrose Fatty Acids Esters,
- Soy
- Coloring
As you can see, the ingredients contain one of the doubtable components: Gelatin, but is it Halal?
Is Hi Chew Haram Or Halal?
The answer is Haram. Hi-Chew is unsuitable for Muslims since it contains Pork Gelatin. Also, the facility handles other gelatin products, so there is always a chance to cross-contaminate this haram ingredient.
So, as a Mulims, you need to avoid all Hi-Chew flavors.
Is Hi-Chew Kosher?
Unfortunately, Hi-Chew is unsuitable for Jewish because it contains Gelatin derived from Pork. According to Jewish dietary laws Pork and its by-products are considered treif or non-kosher.
So, it cannot be consumed by observant Jews.
Final Thought
Indeed, Hi-Chew is unsuitable for Muslims & Jews.
