Three London supermarkets have become some of the first in the country to stock halal pick 'n' mix.
Morrisons stores in Stratford, Wood Green and Thamesmead are among just 10 nationwide where the gelatine-free range was launched this week.
The supermarket said 36 "strictly halal" sweets, including favourites such as liquorice sticks, cola bottles and jelly beans, would be available from a separate confectionery unit, with 100g costing customers £2.49.
Wood Green store manager Phil Page said: “Many customers have asked us about halal sweets, so we have designed and introduced a new range.
"We believe we are the first big supermarket in the UK to do this.
"It’s a large range - so we hope that it will provide a sweet treat for every taste.”
Other stores involved include outlets in Blackburn, Bolton, Preston, Bradford, West Bromwich, Birmingham and Leamington Spa.
