What needs attention
- 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.

What we found about Quorn and halal
Quorn's UK FAQ answers the halal question directly. We read it on 3 November 2026. It says there are a number of Quorn products which are halal approved, and explains that because Quorn is a meat-free brand, the aim is to ensure no alcohol is used in either the products or the process of manufacture.
