What needs attention
- 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.
- DoubtfulGelatine
Gelatine can be made from pigs (haram), cattle (halal only if the animals were slaughtered correctly) or fish (halal). When the pack says only "gelatine" the source is not known, so it is doubtful. Pork gelatine is haram; fish gelatine and halal-certified beef gelatine are not.
