Quick Answer
US Skittles are gelatin-free and vegan.
Detailed Explanation
What is it?
Bite-sized, fruit-flavored chewy candies.
Why it may be halal
Years ago, Skittles used gelatin, making them haram for Muslims in many regions. However, Mars Wrigley has removed gelatin from the standard US Skittles formulation. They also do not use Carmine (E120) for the red color in the US (they use synthetic Red 40 instead).
Fiqh considerations
Without gelatin or insect-derived colors, the product is permissible.
Practical advice
Standard Skittles bought in the US are halal. *Warning:* If you buy Skittles imported from the UK or Europe, they often contain Carmine (E120), which is haram.
