Ingredients, colour-coded
What needs attention
- DoubtfulVanilla extract
Vanilla extract is made with a high proportion of alcohol. Scholars differ on whether the alcohol that remains in the finished food is acceptable. Vanilla pods, vanilla powder and alcohol-free vanilla flavouring contain no added alcohol.
- 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.
