European countries have replaced name of some additives by a code. You must check these codes before bying something because ingredients in it can be halal or haram.

Additives which are ALWAYS of animal origin, such as (HARAAM):

  • E120 Cochineal : a red colour obtained from female insects
  • E441 Gelatine : derived from the bones and/ or hides of cattle and/ or pigs
  • E542 Edible Bone Phosphate : an extract from animal bones
  • E904 Shellac : a resin from the lac insect

    Whilst some additives with a common code such as E47, can be either of animal or plant origin and this latter type needs to be investigated on a case-by-case basis per product/ manufacturer.


The main additives you need to be aware of are:



  • Glycerol / Glycerin / Glycerine (E422) - haraam if obtained from pork or non-halal meat sources.
  • Emulsifiers (E470 to E483) - haraam if obtained from pork or non-halal sources.
  • Edible Bone Phosphate (E542) - haraam if obtained from pork or non-halal meat sources.



For the complete list you can check this link: http://special.worldofislam.info/Food/numbers.html , moreover there are also apps on android devices or iphone you can use when you are buying.

Sources are always changing
Companies are looking for cheaper sources
so once you asked and it was plant or animal source for any E number, can change after 2 or 3 months
you should ask for source constantly

yeah you are right but even you change the sources, ingredients like gelatin are often haram so we can avoid these ingredients.
and I know also it is very difficult to check every ingredient and source.

Aap ko to kisi ne yeh "khanian sunane" balke "parnhe" par force nahin kiya. Agar aap ko yeh post achi nahin lagi to comment karne ke zehmat kiyon ki; sirf "dislike" bhi to kat sake thay. Aap par na to koi pabandi laga raha hai aur na koi force kar raha hai.
Aur aap ko mere jane se intna gham / takleef kiyon houi ?
