Ummah Foods, started in 2004, makes halal chocolates in the United Kingdom. 'Halal' means the food is okay for Muslims to eat, following Islamic law. This means no alcohol or animal fats are used in the chocolate, how it's made, or its packaging.
Khalid Sharif founded the company. Ummah first made two chocolate bars: caramel and orange. Now, they have five different flavors. You can find Ummah chocolate in some Asda and Tesco stores.
