Ingredients, colour-coded
What needs attention
- DoubtfulBeef gelatine
Only halal if the cattle were halal-slaughtered. Look for a halal logo.
- DoubtfulShellac
Scholars differ on whether a lac insect secretion is permissible like honey. Darul Ifta Birmingham rules shellac prohibited as an insect by-product. Another Hanafi answer treats the secretion itself as halal but advises against edible products, because insect traces may remain. Doubtful.
- DoubtfulCheese
Depends on the rennet. Many UK supermarket cheddars use microbial rennet and are labelled vegetarian; Parmesan and Grana Padano always use animal rennet.
