Question: Skittles
Assalamu Alaikum,
There is a sweet called Skittles (Original). I wanted to know if it was halal because it doesn't say "suitable for vegetarians" and it's got E471. I tried to send a message to them but my computer doesn't allow it for some reason. The website is "www.skittles.com"

Jazzakallah for your help.
