Halal ingredient guides

The questions a label cannot answer, answered as plainly as we can, with the same reasoning the app uses.

Is gelatine Halal?

Animal by definition, and the pack rarely says which animal.

Is E471 Halal?

Plant oil or animal fat, and the label does not have to say.

Alcohol in food

A liqueur filling and a flavour carrier are not the same question.

E-number checker

Every additive the app knows, with the reason for each status.
