What needs attention
- HaramBacon
Bacon is pork unless the label clearly says turkey or beef "bacon" from a halal source.
- HaramPork
Pork and anything made from pigs is haram.
- DoubtfulEmulsifier (source not stated)
The word "emulsifier" does not say which one is used. Several emulsifiers, including E471, are made from glycerol and fatty acids that can come from plants or animal fat, and the pack rarely says which. Doubtful unless the pack names a plant source, or shows a vegetarian, vegan or halal label.
- DoubtfulCheese
Depends on the rennet. Many UK supermarket cheddars use microbial rennet and are labelled vegetarian; Parmesan and Grana Padano always use animal rennet.
- DoubtfulE471 · Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids
One of the most common doubtful additives. Halal if the pack says plant/vegetable origin or is halal-certified or vegan.
