What needs attention

  • HaramWine

    Wine is haram, including when used for cooking.

  • DoubtfulBeef

    Halal only if slaughtered according to Islamic law. Look for a halal certification logo (e.g. HMC or HFA in the UK).

  • 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.
