Ingredients, colour-coded
What needs attention
- DoubtfulE435 · Polysorbate 60
Depends on the source of the fatty acid. Found in cake mixes and toppings.
- DoubtfulE334 · Tartaric acid
Tartaric acid is a plant acid, but much of it is recovered from winemaking by-products and the pack rarely says which source was used. Darul Ifta Birmingham says tartaric acid from a plant source is halal; scholars differ on the wine-derived form. Doubtful unless the source is stated or the product has a halal logo.
- DoubtfulEmulsifier (source not stated)
The word "emulsifier" does not say which one is used. Several emulsifiers, including E471, are made from glycerol and fatty acids that can come from plants or animal fat, and the pack rarely says which. Doubtful unless the pack names a plant source, or shows a vegetarian, vegan or halal label.
- 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.
- DoubtfulGlycerine
Halal when vegetable glycerine; doubtful if not stated.
