I’m sure many of us have come across this Fruit Plus candy before. Its commonly available in restaurants, mini markets, convenience store and is also one items provided in party packs for children’s functions. There are a variety of flavors (refer http://www.lbbg.com.my/kheesan/products2/chewy_candies_fruitplus.php) available.
For conservative Hindus and Buddhists (and also vegetarians), do remember to read the ingredients.
As you can see above, its stated “Mengandungi gelatin makan daripada lembu” and “Contains edible gelatine from beef”.
Unfortunately, quite a few Indian restaurants also sell this product. Hopefully consumers are more vigilant.
