Frequently asked questions

Is Toffifee Halal?

Does Toffifee contain gelatine?
No. The list is sugar, fats, hazelnuts, milk products, cocoa, lecithin and flavourings.

Scholarly view

Milk, butter and hazelnut raise no question. Whey's ruling follows the rennet used for the cheese it came from, on which scholars differ when the rennet is from an animal not slaughtered Islamically; see whey powder.
