HALAL & HARAM DIRECTORY
O believers ! Eat of the good things that We have
provided you with and give thanks to Allah.
(2: 172)
Though thorough research has gone into producing this guideline, it is by no means complete and only covers the common products as it is very difficult to obtain exactly the listing of halal and haram ingredients present in all products. Also, companies are constantly changing their product ingredients and Muslims should always be aware that what is originally certified halal might in the future be haram and vice versa. Due to aggressive campaigning by The Vegetarian Society, UK, most products now display their symbol ‘Suitable For Vegetarians’ which means that there is NO animal content in that particular product, making it halal. However, a product can still contain alcohol, making it haram. Please check.
Points to note:
· Medicine containing alcohol is not permissible unless on authority of a doctor with no alternative medicine available.
· If alcohol undergoes significant chemical changes causing it to lose its original properties via chemical processes, then its usage and consumption is permissible, as in the case where wine has turned into vinegar. Hence, it is also why all soap (without pig-derived ingredients) are permissible to use for Muslims.
· Gelatine is a thickener derived from skins, tendons, ligaments, bones to produce a gelling agent. Some remnant of the original product still remains in the final packaged product, making it impure and improper for use despite the great chemical changes it underwent.
· Processed foods contain food additives, regulated by the alphabet ‘E’, such as emulsifiers, raising agents, preservatives, colouring and gelling agents. At time of compilation, all other ‘E’ number additives are halal except for these:

· Rennet is an enzyme which can be animal or microbial. It is a mixture of 2 enzymes derived from calves’ stomachs and is used in cheese-making. Whey powder is a product of cheese-making using rennet. If the rennet is extracted from an Islamically slaughtered animal, it is halal. If not, scholars differ in opinion, with permissible and impermissible fatwas arising. Therefore consumption of whey powder and rennet-based products depends on which fatwa is held to. According to taqwa, abstinence is desirable. As far as possible, buy cheese suitable for vegetarians.

Maybe some of the information from the halal and haram directory has changed now. For example, above it states that bounty is halal but the MARS company that makes them has stated that any mars company chocolates made in the continent contain whey powder of calf origin. Bounty sold in the uk is made in Holland so is haram to eat. Please see below:-

Masterfoods, a division of Mars UK Limited, exercises every care in providing this product information, changes may occur in the future.
We have also enclosed a list of frequently asked questions and answers on our confectionery products which we hope you will find useful.
None of our products contain alcohol (i.e. ethyl alcohol). We do use iso-propyl alcohol as a solvent in some of our flavourings, e.g. in SKITTLES, STARBURST, TUNES and LOCKETS. This is widely used in the food industry, but it is not ethanol, the spirit in intoxicating liquors. As iso-propyl is volatile, the majority of it is lost during manufacturing.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us. If we can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours sincerely

[FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ON OUR CONFECTIONERY PRODUCTS]
[What is the origin of the gelatine present
in some of our products?]
The gelatine we use is derived from pork. Clearly, products containing gelatine are not included in our vegetarian suitable lists.
[What is the origin of the glycerol (E422) you use?]
It is of vegetable origin.
[Is the whey powder present in your chocolate suitable for vegetarians?]
Currently, products made in the UK contain whey powder from suppliers who use rennet approved by the UK Vegetarian Society. Products made in our factories on the continent contain whey powder from suppliers who use rennet of calf origin: these products, therefore, are not included in our vegetarian suitable lists. Products containing whey powder which are made on the continent but sold in the UK are: BOUNTY, SNICKERS Cruncher, FUNSIZE MARS, FUNSIZE SNICKERS, FUNSIZE MILKY WAY, standard size and twin MILKY WAY, MILKY WAY Crispy Rolls, GALAXY Caramel Swirls, M&M's Peanut, TWIX Kingsize, Miniatures products (including CELEBRATIONS) and chocolate covered ice creams.
The products listed on the previous page as being suitable for vegetarians are all manufactured in the UK. Occasionally, however, we import some of these products from our factories on the continent. The imported products will not be suitable for vegetarians. These bars can be identified by the letter after the best before date, for example 27-07-02 N 5C. Bars made in the UK can be identified by the letter U after the best before date, for example 27-07-02 U 5C. We would suggest that you check the best before date to ensure that the product is manufactured in the UK.
[What is the origin of glycerol monostearate (E471)?]
It is of vegetable origin.
[What is the origin of polyglycerol polyricinoleate (E476)?]
It is of vegetable origin.
[What is the origin of the food colouring Carmine (E120)?]
Carmine is a natural red colour extracted from the bodies of insects (Dactilopius Coccus).
Thank you for contacting us with your question. Your interest in our
Company and our products is greatly appreciated. We are happy to have
the
opportunity to assist you.
I am pleased to confirm that Palmolive Soft & Gentle Aerosol and
Roll-On's
do not contain any animal derived ingredients or alcohol.
Any Colgate toothpaste with a Manufacturing Code of "GB10" is free from
animal-derived ingredients. This code is found on the end of the
toothpaste box and on the crimp (bottom) of the tube. In addition,
Ultra
Brite, Tonigencyl and Dentagard are free from animal-derived
ingredients.
Products that should be avoided are: Palmolive soaps, Fresh toilet
soap,
Palmolive Foam Bath & Creme 2 in 1, Palmolive Lather Shave Cream, Shave
Foam and Shave Stick and Ajax Bathroom Expert. Colgate Plax Mouthrinse
contains alcohol, but we do produce an alcohol free mouthrinse,
Fluorigard
AF.
We appreciate you taking the time to contact us.
Yours sincerely
