Altoids: check the exact mint

Check the ingredients on your exact variety and pack.

Classic Peppermint, 1.76 oz

The manufacturer lists sugar, gum arabic, natural flavors including peppermint oil, and gelatin for this product. The published ingredient list does not identify the animal source of the gelatin.

Other varieties and markets

Match the flavor, pack size and country. Use the ingredient list on the product you have; one variety does not establish the ingredients of the whole brand.

What to check about gelatin

Ask the manufacturer about its animal source and any applicable halal certification for the exact product. An ingredient list or a kosher marking alone does not establish halal certification.
