What needs attention

  • HaramAlcohol

    Added alcohol is avoided. Scholars differ on tiny carrier amounts, but added alcohol as an ingredient is generally treated as haram.

  • DoubtfulFlavourings

    The word "flavouring" does not say what a flavour is made from or dissolved in. Most are plant-based or synthetic, but some are carried in alcohol or glycerol of unstated source, and a few contain animal ingredients. Doubtful unless the pack says plant-based or alcohol-free, or shows a halal logo.
