Is Cloetta Candy Mix Halal?

HARAM

This candy mix contains carmine (E120), a red colour made from cochineal insects, so it is not suitable for a cautious Muslim shopper. It also lists gelatin without saying fish, beef or halal-certified source, and shellac on the coating; those add further source doubts. The Maliki school is more lenient on insects, but HalalCheck follows the majority view here.
