Ingredients, colour-coded
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.
- DoubtfulWhey
Whey comes from cheese making, so the rennet question applies: pig rennet is prohibited, rennet from a correctly slaughtered animal is permitted, and rennet from an animal that was not slaughtered is disputed. The pack rarely says which rennet was used. Doubtful unless it came from cheese made with microbial rennet, or the product has a halal logo.
