I don't know about liquorice and blackcurrant sweets - I thought they were just boiled sugar - but a lot of confectionery contains gelatin and other animal derivatives. I think that anyone who can only eat halal meat probably can only eat halal derivatives too. Someone at work was halfway through scoffing a cupcake before realising he hadn't checked if they were suitable for vegetarians, not because he is one, but because it's the safest way to avoid so-called "tainted" meat.
