| [slm] For some months now, ppl (including my mom) have been telling me that chewing Wrigley's gum is not HALAL but no one seemed to have the proof. Someone sent me the email that the Wrigley company replied back to and so here it is. [wlm] Betul To all Wrigley Chewing Gum lovers, it is not halal anymore. Read below and e-mail from Wrigley... Any Info can be obtained from WWW.wrigley.com.. e-mail From: pr@wrigley.com Dear Hameed: Thank you for visiting our web site, Wrigley.com, to ask if we Use any animal-derived ingredients in the manufacturer of Wrigley's gum. We appreciate your interest in our product. At one time, Wrigley products were made with vegetable-or mineral-derived softening ingredients. However, the availability of these types of softeners decreased several years ago when major sources closed their manufacturing facilities. Since we can no longer guarantee that all Wrigley brands from all of our factories will always be made with vegetable-or mineral-derived softeners, our products may not always be acceptable for your diet. We're sorry that you may not be able to chew Wrigley's gum, but we appreciate your contacting us so that we can give you the facts. Sincerely yours, Denise Young Consumer Affairs Department WM. WRIGLEY, JR. COMPANY |

an e-mail forwarded to me from an islamic mailing list. === Salaams Hope u r all in good health and iman inshallah - Just wanted 2 say a few things - That e-mail about wrigleys - the fact that the mail was from a Nancy 'Slivoski' was off putting enough even though 'she said' that they are suitable for vegitarians - Hope I dont sound too hardcore - but if you look at all the muslims around the world we truly do live a luxurious life - like paying beyond the price of quality clothes just so you can have the name of another capitalist deigner label which loox 'cool', etc -but then whats a neccessity and whats somthing you just 'want'? Looking at the muslims around the world - the ummah that we r a part of - we should inshallah reflect on the fact that there are so many brothers and sisters out there happy and able to smile even if they have no money or luxury - mashallah - ...and somthing rigorously marketed, manufactured using so many different ingredients (and they dont even have to list all of them), and sold on a global scale - which is just for refreshing your breath - I'd consider that a luxury...but today the world runs and revolves around the service industry - around consumerism, capitalism and making people think they need things they dont - as well as making people think things they want them to think. For the sister who runs this mailing list - could you please put me on the weekly or daily digest - mashallah there are so many mails- its very pleasing to c this jamat active in discussion- If I have said anything wrong in this mail, I seek Allahs forgiveness and yours too if I have offended you. w/s Yaser ..and Remember that when we eat the food we eat and drink what we drink - it does not sustain us - Allah does and Allah takes away our hunger. ********************************************************* ?And if you obey most of those on the earth, they will mislead you far away from Allah?s path? (al-An?aam 6:116) ********************************************************* |

| Salams i chew orbit which is made by wrigleys and i looked at the back of it and it did say suitable for vegetarians and i read the ingredients properly. The best thing to do is read the ingredients for everything that you do doubt because companys change them all the time - one minutes its ok, the next is not! (like the on going skittles saga) wasalam |
