The GELATIN in I Can't Believe It's Not Butter is derived from protein of animal origin, either beef or pork.

I do not worry about halal or kosher, other than for the purposes of my work in training scenarios, but this is useful information.

The best advice to a Muslim who wants to avoid anything haram is to buy only products that are certified kosher or halal. For obvious reasons, kosher is the easiest to find now in American markets, although I do see more and more products certified halal. Considering that kosher is more tightly defined than halal, halal products may eventually be more numerous by comparison. Since all kosher is, by definition, halal, it leaves Muslim customers a wider choice of foods, and there is no worry about dairy vs meat.

In one scenario I sometimes work, I like to tell the soldiers I am training "The good thing about the difference between halal and kosher is that I do not have to compete with the Jews for a share of the shrimp and lobster."
