What needs attention

  • HaramPork gelatine

    Gelatine made from pig skin and bones. Pork is prohibited in the Qur'an, so it is haram.

  • 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.
