حلال

الْحَلَالُ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامُ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَهُمَا مُشَبَّهَاتٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَمَنِ اتَّقَى الْمُشَبَّهَاتِ اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters that many people do not know. Whoever guards against the doubtful matters protects his religion and his honor.”

al-Bukhari, 52

E491 Sorbitan monostearate — is it halal?

Description

An emulsifier: a mixture of partial esters of sorbitol and its anhydrides (sorbitan, isosorbide) with commercial stearic acid (stearic + palmitic). Per an industry review and producer statements, sorbitol comes from glucose of maize, potato, tapioca or wheat. No instrument names the fat from which the stearic acid comes; producers name palm oil, but an ICI patent on sorbitan esters allows hydrogenated tallow acids.
