Ingredients, colour-coded
What needs attention
- HaramCured pork (Parma ham, mortadella…)
Ham, bacon, gammon and similar cured meats are pork. Pork is prohibited in the Qur'an (2:173 and 5:3), so they are haram.
- HaramPork
Pork and anything made from pigs is haram.
- DoubtfulCheese
Depends on the rennet. Many UK supermarket cheddars use microbial rennet and are labelled vegetarian; Parmesan and Grana Padano always use animal rennet.
- 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.
- DoubtfulSalami
Most salami and pepperoni in UK shops contain pork. Only eat halal-certified versions.
