Honey — is it halal?

Ruling: Halal

Description

Honey is the natural sweet substance produced by Apis mellifera bees from plant nectar or secretions of plants and insects. Under Directive 2001/110/EC nothing may be added to honey. “Dried honey”, “honey powder” is honey mixed with a carrier (usually maltodextrin or gum arabic; skim milk powder is also used). Honey is often adulterated with syrups.

Basis of the ruling

Honey is the sweet substance bees make from plant nectar or honeydew. Bee secretions are permitted, and the Qur'an calls honey a healing for people. Under EU rules nothing may be added to honey.
