What needs attention

  • HaramE120 · Carmine / cochineal

    Insects and their by-products are forbidden according to Darul Ifta Birmingham, which cites all mainstream schools. Indonesia's MUI declared cochineal colourings halal (Fatwa No. 33 of 2011). The default setting avoids it; you can change this in your insect setting.
