Halal Chocolates

We ran 1,794 chocolates through our halal rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 41 don't make it.

Cocoa and sugar are not the issue in this aisle. Verdicts mostly turn on whey (the rennet behind it can be animal), the E471 emulsifier, and flavourings carried on alcohol. A halal mark on the wrapper settles all three at once, which is why certified bars clear our checks so cleanly.
