However, according to Wrigley this is the information they provide about it being acceptable as Kosher.  I would assume Halal and Kosher mean the same basically.

"Are your products Kosher?

While the products we sell in the U.S. are not currently certified kosher, we take great strides to ensure products are kosher and kosher certified in geographies with dietary restrictions. For example, all Wrigley products sold in Israel are kosher certified. "

Some of the gum that is in markets are haraam. Icebrakers for example has gelatin. Wrigley's has no gelatin, but I think that they have glycerin which is a questionable substance. I would call Wrigley's and see, otherwise I would try and chew another gum or none.

Salma, some gum does have gelatin in it, read Icebrakers or your next pack and see. Also, Ape Sith Kosher and Halal are completely different. What a Jewish finds Kosher a Muslim might see as Haraam. For example, Kosher gelatin. You would think that Jewish and Muslim both do not eat pork, but when it comes to gelatin there is difference of opinion. Jewish people believe that it changes form from pork to gelatin, so believe that it is no longer pork where as Muslims believe it started as pork and it ends as pork no matter the form it is in.

I would jut stay away unless you are 100% sure that it is ok.

I just found an article that has all the haraam candies from wrigley's listed. They are all halal except for their Altoids mints, Extra Polar Ice, Orbit Crystal Mint, Jucy Fruit Grapermelon and Strappleberry, Life Savers Gummies, Life Savers Fusions, Life Savers, and Creme Savers. The latter 3 because they are processed on the same line as the gummy savers and they contain gelatin so they cross contaminate the others. Hope that this helps.
