It also has a lot of vegetable fat and palm oil in nowadays, hence the unpleasant greasy feeling it leaves in the mouth. Yuk.

@therealisation5500 It's not whether the product itself is halal or not, it's that the company pays for halal certification, and passes that cost on to all consumers. The agencies that provide the certification then support charities and endeavours run by people of the same persuasion for their benefit alone. It's basically a tax that we all pay, that only benefits people of that persuasion. It should be banned. As an atheist I object to it very strongly and avoid it wherever possible.
