What Is Kosher?
Answer: The Hebrew word "Kasheir," or "Kosher," means fit or proper. When applied to food, the term indicates that an item is fit for consumption according to Jewish law. The word "Kashruth" refers to the general subject of Kosher food. At Pure Fun™ we subscribe to the laws through several Rabinical groups. In Canada, we subscribe to the COR, OU Kosher and Kof-K in the U.S. Pure Fun™ is serious about maintaining traditional Kosher standards.
Millions of people, from various religious and ethnic backgrounds, eat kosher food for religious, cultural, health and quality reasons. Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Vegetarians, Lactose intolerant and others may share an interest in kosher food.

What Is Halal?
Answer: Halal is a set of Islamic dietary laws which regulate the preparation of food. There is nothing in the preparation of Pure Fun candies that would not be allowed or lawful according to the Qur'an and our candies have been prepared in accordance with Muslim principles and techniques.
Halal is the Islamic term for "permissible," similar to the Jewish kosher. The use of the term varies between Arabic-speaking Muslim communities and non-Arabic-speaking ones.
