Caffeine — is it halal?

Description

Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is an alkaloid of coffee, tea and guarana. Food and pharmacy caffeine is either synthetic (GB 14758: from chloroacetic or cyanoacetic acid; industrially the dimethylurea route; c1) or natural — a by-product of decaffeinating coffee and tea (dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, CO2, water; carbon as sorbent; c2, c3); they are chemically identical and cannot be told apart by the label.
