It depends on the product. Jolly Rancher hard candies contain no gelatin and are halal by their ingredients. However, Jolly Rancher gummies and some chews contain gelatin, which usually comes from animals and is not halal-certified. So the hard candy is fine, while the gummies are the ones to avoid unless they are certified. Jolly Rancher has no official halal certification.
