Is Nestlé Chocolate Halal?
Nestlé chocolates are made to a variety of recipes around the world, but overall their ingredients are very similar and are strictly controlled. The basic composition of chocolate is mixture of cocoa products, milk and sugar bound together with an emulsifier (see below). The vegetable fat used is the fat from cocoa beans (called cocoa butter); in some chocolates, part of this may be replaced by other vegetable fats (most frequently a tropical fat like palm oil, shea butter or sal). A minor fat based component in Nestlé chocolate is the emulsifier; this is normally lecithin from soybeans, and is always of vegetable origin. The only non-vegetable fat used in chocolate is milk fat (from cow’s milk). All of these fats are obtained from reputable suppliers and to strict quality specifications to ensure that the Nestlé chocolate made from them will be of the best quality and very enjoyable to eat.
