What needs attention
- 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.
- DoubtfulChicken
Halal only if slaughtered according to Islamic law. Look for certification.
- DoubtfulSausage casing
Natural casings are usually pig or sheep intestines; collagen casings are often beef. Halal only from halal animals. Cellulose and alginate casings are plant-based.
