What needs attention
- HaramPork
Pork and anything made from pigs is haram.
- DoubtfulWine vinegar
Scholars differ. The Hanafi view allows vinegar made from wine however it was made; the Shafi'i view allows it only if the wine turned to vinegar by itself; Hanbali and Maliki scholars do not allow wine to be turned into vinegar on purpose. Doubtful in the general setting, halal in the Hanafi setting.
- 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.
