Why it is Haram
Gelatine from pork is not Halal in any of the four Sunni schools. A minority argue that processing transforms it (istihalah), but Halal certifiers do not accept that for food gelatine. UK Peelerz name pork as the source, so there is no doubt to resolve for those packs; US packs name no source, and unnamed gelatine without a Halal mark is avoided for the same reason.

Why this ruling
Peelerz are fruit-shaped gummy sweets from the Amos brand, with an outer layer you peel off like fruit skin. They are sold in pouches in mango, peach, banana, orange and other flavours.
Pork gelatine on UK packs
The UK Gummy Mango pouch lists glucose syrup, sugar, water, mango and apple juice concentrates, pork gelatine, glycerol, trehalose, pectin, agar, acids, mango flavour, palm oil, maltitol, carnauba wax and colours.[1] Other UK packs name pork gelatine in the same place.[2][3] Pork gelatine is not Halal, so UK Peelerz are not either.
US packs
The US Gummy Mango pack lists malt syrup, sugar, apple juice concentrate, gelatin, mango jam, sorbitol and other ingredients.[4] It does not say which animal the gelatin comes from, and there is no Halal mark, so it should be avoided too.
How to verify
Check labels carefully for alternate names or derivatives linked to peelerz, and choose clearly Halal or plant-based alternatives instead.
Quick checks
- UK packs: pork gelatine.
- US packs: gelatin, source not named.
