Toblerone makes no current halal claim that we could find. Its maker told CNN in 2018 that the Swiss factory was halal certified, but named no certifier, and the brand's site is silent today.

Is Toblerone halal? (checked October 2026)

The longer answer

In December 2018 Mondelez, which makes Toblerone, confirmed to CNN that the factory in Bern, Switzerland that produces the chocolate had achieved halal certification earlier that year. Its statement said: "The certification did not result in any change to our beloved traditional Toblerone original recipe." It added that the production process "essentially meets the halal criteria anyway." Fortune, reporting the same week, noted that Toblerone was also certified kosher.

Those reports are from 2018 and do not name the certifying body. Toblerone's own FAQ on toblerone.com (Swiss site, checked October 2026) does not mention halal at all, and we found no current halal statement or certificate on the brand's website. We also could not confirm from an official page where the bars currently sold in the US are made.

The Swiss site describes the classic bar as milk chocolate with honey and almond nougat. We did not find gelatin or alcohol described for the classic bar, but we were not able to read a full official ingredient list for the US pack.

What to check before you order

Check the wrapper for a halal mark and the country of manufacture, since the 2018 certification was tied to one factory. Read the ingredients on filled or praline varieties separately from the classic bar.

How we decide

We only report what the company or its certifier has said publicly, and we link to it below. We do not test food, and we do not take a brand’s word from a single franchise. If a location tells you something different from this page, trust the location and tell us.
