Ingredients Which Are HARAM for MUSLIMs

8/14/2019 Ingredients Which Are HARAM for MUSLIMs

1/18

E- means EC (European communities) and E-Numbers are assigned to various food additives.

Some E-Numbers are banned in some countries. In UK Numbers without E prefix are allowed but

may not be allowed in other country. We are getting lot of e-mails from our Muslims brother and

sisters inquiring about Halal status of E-Numbers, so we decided to add to our web site. E-

Numbers are divided into following category:

E-Numbers Food Additives

1. 100-180 Colors

2. 200-252 Preservatives

3. 260-297 Acidities

4. 300-385 Antioxidant

5. 400-429 Thickeners

6. 430-499 Emulsifiers

7. 620-640 Flavor Enhancer8. 950-967 Sweeteners

Halal Status: The Halal status was given to the ingredients which are obtained from 100% Halal

raw materials without use of alcohol. These are plant and chemical based material.

Haram: Those are obtained from animal source or use of alcohol. All non-zabiha Halal animal by-

products were considered as Haram because Allahs name was not announced at the time of

slaughtering the animal. Off course pork by product was considered 100% Haram. Some Muslims

may differ with us about not accepting the meat slaughtered by people of the book as not Halalmeat.

Mushbooh: Mushbooh status was given to those E-Numbers where source of raw material was

not known, it could be from plant source or animal source and also lack of information of use of

alcohol with based ingredients.

Hidden ingredients: We have no knowledge of different food laws in different countries regarding

hidden processing aid ingredients which may be Haram.

HARAM E NUMBERS:

The following ingredients are considered as Haram:

E 120: Cochineal (red color from insects) according to Ulema from UK and South Africa


2/18

E 441: Gelatin

E 542: Edible Bone Phosphate

We have carefully checked these ingredients based on our knowledge of US food industry but we

are not familiar with different food laws in different European countries.
