Natural flavouring — is it halal?

Ruling: Mashbuh (doubtful)

Description

“Natural flavouring” has a flavouring component made only of natural substances and preparations obtained by physical, enzymatic or microbiological processes from plant, animal or microbial material. “Natural” does not say whether the source is plant or animal (in the US rule — meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy; in research — also fat, blood, bones).

Basis of the ruling

A natural flavouring is obtained from plant, animal or microbial material, which is not disclosed on the label. Under the US rule it may also be meat, poultry or seafood, with the species not named.
