Wondering which chocolate is halal in Australia? You’re not alone. With many brands and confusing labels, it can be hard to know what’s acceptable. This guide breaks it down simply and clearly.
1. What Makes Chocolate Halal?
Chocolate is halal if it:
- Does not contain pork or gelatin from non‑halal sources
- Has no alcohol or flavorings derived from alcohol
- Is made without equipment cross‑contaminated with forbidden (haram) substances
- Is certified by a trusted Halal authority or clearly labeled
2. Cadbury Chocolate in Australia
In Australia, most Cadbury chocolates are halal-certified by Australian Halal authorities. The official Cadbury Halal list includes (but is not limited to):
- Cadbury Dairy Milk (plain, Peppermint, Fruit & Nut, Hazelnut, Roast Almond, Bubbly Mint, etc.)
- Caramello and Caramello Koala
- Old Gold Original and Roast Almond
- Flake, Twirl, Boost, Crunchie, Picnic, Dream, Caramilk, and more
So yes—Cadbury Caramello is halal in Australia.
3. Is Lindt Chocolate Halal?
Lindt does not hold a halal certification, and its production in Australia is not halal-approved. If a product doesn’t carry a halal logo, it’s better to skip it to be safe.

- 100 Grand Chocolate (Nestlé) is not confirmed halal in Australia. Without official verification or halal logo, it’s best to avoid it.
