Ingredients, colour-coded
What needs attention
- HaramPork gelatine
Gelatine made from pig skin and bones. Pork is prohibited in the Qur'an, so it is haram.
- HaramCarmine (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.
- 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.
