My wife chose to embrace a new faith, converting to Islam, a beautiful journey of discovery and commitment. Since her conversion, she has stopped consuming pork. Now, as she is 4.5 months pregnant, her cravings have taken on a nostalgic tone. She misses enjoying Nerds Gummy Clusters, a treat she loved but cannot have now due to its inclusion of pork gelatin. Although we've tried making similar treats at home, they just don't compare. This sacrifice should not be necessary for her or anyone facing similar restrictions, and it shines a light on a broader issue of inclusivity in food production.

Around the world, over 2 billion Muslims, along with countless individuals from other faiths and dietary preferences, choose to avoid pork-based products. The use of pork gelatin in products like Nerds Gummy Clusters effectively excludes them from enjoying this delightful candy. For a country that prides itself on diversity and inclusion, it seems only fair and right to ask for a small but significant change in the manufacturing process of a beloved treat.

Switching from pork gelatin to beef gelatin in Nerds Gummy Clusters would not only allow more people to enjoy this product, but it would also broaden the market for the company, tapping into an audience that has been needlessly cut off. It’s an opportunity for Nerds to exemplify leadership in inclusivity within the candy industry.

We urge the makers of Nerds to consider this simple yet impactful change in ingredient sourcing. By making the switch, they would be demonstrating a commitment to inclusivity while enhancing their market appeal and customer satisfaction. Please join us in calling for a switch to beef gelatin in Nerds Gummy Clusters.

Sign this petition to help make a difference for my wife and for millions who are ready to enjoy Nerds Gummy Clusters.
