The 10 Best Halal Snacks at Costco (2026 Edition)

Doing a grocery run at Costco when you eat Halal is often an obstacle course. You scan, you read the fine print, you put the package back. “Ugh, Pork Gelatin.” “Wait, Animal Enzymes?”

However, the warehouse giant is actually full of hidden treasures that are either Certified Halal or Halal-Friendly (Vegetarian/Vegan/Kosher).

For 2026, we scoured the aisles (and TikTok trends) to find the 10 must-have snacks. Get your membership card ready.

1. The Viral Star: Afters “Dubai Chocolate” Ice Cream Bars 🍫

This is THE trend of the year. Inspired by the famous Dubai chocolate bar filled with pistachio cream and crispy Kataifi pastry, this frozen version has just landed at Costco.

• What is it? Pistachio ice cream coated in crunchy chocolate and toasted Kataifi.
• Tayib Status: ✅ Halal-Friendly (Vegetarian).
• Why it’s safe: No gelatin, no alcohol. The ingredients are dairy and plant-based. Warning: these sell out fast!

2. The Gelatin-Free Win: Mott’s Fruit Snacks 🍬

Finding gummies without pork or beef gelatin is a challenge. Forget the standard Welch’s (often Haram due to pork gelatin).

• What is it? Small pouches of fruit-flavored gummies.
• Tayib Status: ✅ 100% Halal-Friendly (Vegan).
• The Game Changer: Mott’s uses Pectin (a plant-based gelling agent) instead of Gelatin. You can buy a box of 90 for the kids’ lunchboxes without worry.

3. The Healthy Classic: Kirkland Organic Hummus 🥙

The perfect protein snack.

• What is it? Single-serve cups of organic hummus.
• Tayib Status: ✅ Kosher & Vegetarian.
• Verdict: Zero risk. No animal enzymes, no meat. It is a safe bet for dipping your chips or carrots.

4. The Sweet Addiction: Heavenly Hunks (Oatmeal Dark Chocolate) 🍪

If you see this gray bag, grab two.

• What is it? Soft, chewy oatmeal dark chocolate bites.
• Tayib Status: ✅ Certified Vegan & Gluten-Free.
• Why we love it: It is one of the few processed snacks that contains no questionable ingredients (no dairy, no eggs, no hidden animal fats).

5. The Affordable Luxury: Sanders Sea Salt Caramels 🧂

Probably the best chocolate sold at Costco.

• What is it? Sea salt caramels coated in dark or milk chocolate.
• Tayib Status: ✅ Kosher & Vegetarian.
• The Trap Avoided: Many soft caramels use gelatin for texture. Not Sanders. They use standard dairy ingredients.

6. The Korean Staple: Jongga Kimchi 🥬

Kimchi is excellent for health (probiotics), but you have to watch the ingredients.

• What is it? Spicy fermented cabbage.
• Tayib Status: ⚠️ Halal (Contains Seafood).
• Fiqh Nuance: This product contains shrimp sauce and anchovies.
  • Majority of Scholars: Halal (seafood is permissible).
  • Strict Hanafi: Avoid if you do not consume shrimp. Check your Madhab.

7. The 100% Natural: Solely Organic Fruit Jerky 🥭

For those who want to avoid weird E-Numbers.

• What is it? A strip of dried fruit.
• Tayib Status: ✅ Certified Vegan & Kosher.
• Ingredients: “Organic Mango.” That’s it. Literally one ingredient. It is impossible to get more Halal than that.

8. The Movie Night Snack: Skinny Pop 🍿

• What is it? Pre-popped popcorn, salted just right.
• Tayib Status: ✅ Certified Vegan & Kosher.
• The Detail: No animal butter, no cheese powders with doubtful Rennet. Just corn, sunflower oil, and salt.

9. The “Clean” Bar: That’s It Fruit Bars 🍓

• What is it? Compressed fruit bars (Apple + Strawberry, Apple + Mango).
• Tayib Status: ✅ Certified Kosher & Vegan.
• Why it’s great: No gelatin to bind the bar; it is the fruit fiber that holds it all together. Perfect for the gym bag.

10. The Guilt-Free Treat: Unreal Dark Chocolate Coconut Bars 🥥

If you love Mounds or Bounty bars but want a healthier (and safer) version.

• What is it? Dark chocolate coconut bars with very little sugar.
• Tayib Status: ✅ Certified Vegan.
• Verdict: Zero dairy, zero gelatin. Pure and simple indulgence.

The Tayib Expert Tip 💡

At Costco, products rotate quickly. If you are unsure about a new item (like that new Tzatziki sauce or those Plant-Based Sausages), do not guess.

Use Tayib to scan the barcode right in the store. We instantly detect:

1. Hidden Pork Gelatin.
2. Carmine (E120) in red yogurts or candies.
3. Hidden Alcohol in sauces (Wine Vinegar vs. Ethyl Alcohol).

Don’t guess. Scan.
