  • Halal or Haram? #1: Frosted Poptarts

     As a child, I was told that the frosted poptarts contained gelatin( possibly from pigs) and therefore I was forbidden to eat them. However, i was allowed to enjoy the frost-less poptarts (brown sugar, strawberry, blueberry) As I got older, those frosted poptarts grew increasingly appetizing and I wanted further information about the ingredients. I called the number on the back of the box, and was told that the gelatin comes from a (cow)beef source, Depending on your personal beliefs, this should be permissable. Some do not want the gelatin unless it comes from a fish source, but I, personally, have no problem with it. For now, poptarts, seem to be halal, but I recommend that anyone who wants to eat them should personally call to ensure accuracy.
