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.
- 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.
