Is Ice Breakers halal?
Ice Breakers Ice Cubes gum lists gelatin with no source stated. The Coolmint mints we checked list none. Hershey makes no halal claim for the brand.
The longer answer
Hershey's product page for Ice Breakers Ice Cubes Peppermint gum (checked October 2026) lists xylitol, gum base, maltitol syrup, mannitol, and 2% or less of flavors, maltodextrin, maltitol, soy lecithin, color, aspartame, modified cornstarch, gelatin, acesulfame potassium, gum acacia, BHT, neotame, sorbitol and sucralose. The page does not say what animal the gelatin comes from.
Ice Breakers Coolmint sugar free mints are a different recipe: sorbitol, maltitol, maltodextrin, and 2% or less of natural flavor, artificial flavor, gum acacia, aspartame, magnesium stearate, citric acid, lecithin and Blue 1. No gelatin is listed. The source of the magnesium stearate is not stated.
Hershey's FAQ page points shoppers to the product pages and the pack for ingredient information. We found no halal statement for Ice Breakers.
