Verified 26 Jul 2026 — scholars differ; reader decides

Dollar Sweets Sugar Free 100s & 1000s 75g is mushbooh (doubtful): Shellac (glazing agent 904) — scholars differ, so the reader decides.

What's in doubt

Brand statement

“Dietary & Lifestyle: Halal”
Coles lists this product as halal in the dietary information on its product page, and Dollar Sweets states it holds halal certification for certain products, but neither names a certifier. The label declares shellac, an ingredient scholars genuinely disagree on, so we leave this one marked doubtful — you decide.Captured 26 Jul 2026coles.com.au ↗dollarsweets.com ↗

Shellac (glazing agent 904)

Shellac is a secretion of the lac bug, collected and refined into a food glaze. Like honey it is a secretion rather than an insect body part, so many scholars accept it, while others avoid it because tiny insect fragments can remain after processing. There is no clear ruling either way — you decide.
