Hi,
ReplyDeleteIf they claim that none of their products contain animal derivatives, they would have included that information on FAQ section of their website. I am pasting a part copied from their website to show you an example that says Hala. The term Hala is used in the context of animal slaughtering. We can believe them only if they confirm with 100% confidence.
Quote from FAQ Section: GSK Consumer Healthcare only uses high-quality ingredients in its products. Following a review of the product formulations and supplier documentation, we have not received confirmation from all our suppliers that all individual ingredients are certified as halal and/or kosher. As a result, we have not formally confirmed or labeled the finished products as halal or kosher. Prior to using a product, we recommend you always check the list of ingredients printed on the pack and follow the label instructions.
