If you aren’t specialized in food technology or chemistry, the words of “L-cysteine Hydroklorid” or “Stearol Laktilat” don’t express any meaning to you. If you’re a Muslim what are you going to do with those additives obtained from animal products that you have to avoid? You want a list that explains those additives, don’t you?
There are code numbers (e.g. E471) or just the names (e.g. mono and digliserid) of additives on the product label. In that case, we have prepared a list both arranged by code numbers and by the names. Furthermore, lots of additives obtained from plants, minerals and animals. We also listed those additives.
If you encounter such additives on the product label without detailed information, you have a right to contact with manufacturer or GIMDES for further information about the conformity to Islamic terms. However, if it is written just as E322 or lecithin or E322 lecithin, then we need to query with the assumption that it may be obtained from animal.
The information provided in this list done with meticulous care. It is out of question accepting responsibility or irresponsibility for the information subsequently found that incorrect. Manufacturers, unfortunately use additives with different origin from time to time. If you prefer products that precisely comply with Islamic terms then there is a need to be stay in touch with manufacturers and GIMDES to provide confirmation of the information.
