What needs attention
- DoubtfulVanilla extract
Vanilla extract is made with a high proportion of alcohol. Scholars differ on whether the alcohol that remains in the finished food is acceptable. Vanilla pods, vanilla powder and alcohol-free vanilla flavouring contain no added alcohol.
- 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.
