How to verify

  1. Read the stabilisers: pectin, guar, starch are plant-based.
  2. UK packs on record: no gelatine.
  3. US-labelled packs: 'kosher gelatin', source not named, so not verifiably Halal.
  4. Whey powder appears in some corners: see whey powder.
  5. No Müller Corner is Halal-certified.

Quick checks

  • UK packs: no gelatine.
  • US packs: kosher gelatin.
  • Not Halal-certified.

Why this ruling

Müller Corner is a split-pot yogurt: yogurt on one side, fruit, chocolate balls or a crunchy topping in the corner.

UK packs

The UK Müller Corner packs on record list no gelatine. The peach and apricot pot is set with pectins, guar and modified maize starch,[1] and the chocolate wafer pot lists yogurt, wafer, chocolate and whey powder, again with no gelatine.[2]

US-labelled packs

The US-labelled Müller Corner records list "Kosher Gelatin" in the yogurt.[3] Kosher gelatin can come from fish or from cattle not slaughtered Islamically, so those packs are not verifiably Halal. For the general rules, see yogurt and gelatin.

Frequently asked questions

Is Müller Corner Halal?
UK Müller Corner yogurts on record list no gelatine, setting with pectin, guar and starch. They are not Halal-certified. US-labelled versions listed kosher gelatin of unnamed source.
Does Müller Corner contain gelatine?
The UK packs on record do not. The US-labelled Müller Corner records list kosher gelatin in the yogurt.
Is kosher gelatin Halal?
Not automatically. Kosher gelatin may come from fish or from beef that was not slaughtered Islamically, and the label does not say which.

Scholarly view

Yogurt is milk and cultures, which raise no Halal question; the usual concern is gelatine added as a thickener. Gelatine follows its animal and how it was slaughtered, and 'kosher' does not settle that for a Muslim, since kosher gelatin may come from fish or from cattle not slaughtered Islamically.
