What needs attention
- DoubtfulE334 · Tartaric acid
Tartaric acid is a plant acid, but much of it is recovered from winemaking by-products and the pack rarely says which source was used. Darul Ifta Birmingham says tartaric acid from a plant source is halal; scholars differ on the wine-derived form. Doubtful unless the source is stated or the product has a halal logo.
Full ingredient list
