Is Pepperidge Farm Milano halal?
Milano cookies carry no halal claim. The official ingredient lists show no gelatin or animal fat, but they do include vanilla extract and natural flavor.
The longer answer
Pepperidge Farm's product page for Milano Dark Chocolate cookies (checked October 2026) lists enriched wheat flour, semi sweet chocolate (sugar, chocolate, chocolate processed with alkali, cocoa butter, milkfat, soy lecithin, vanilla extract), sugar, vegetable oils (palm and/or soybean and hydrogenated soybean), eggs, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, soy lecithin, natural flavor and nonfat milk. The Milk Chocolate version has a similar list, also with vanilla extract in the chocolate.
No gelatin, lard or other animal fat apart from milkfat is listed. The page gives no further detail on the vanilla extract.
Neither product page mentions halal, and we found no halal statement from Pepperidge Farm or its owner Campbell's. We checked two Milano flavors only.
What to check before you order
Read the list on the flavor you buy, since filled and seasonal Milano varieties differ. If vanilla extract is a concern for you, note that it appears in the chocolate.
