Halal Ingredients Report
Compiled by: Dr Umar Azam B.A., PH.D., F.R.S.A., F.R.S.S.A.
Manchester, UK - June 2007
I previously compiled a Halal Ingredients Report around the year 1997 and helped to raise awareness among manufacturers of the need to make their foodstuffs suitable to their customers. In fact, Walkers made the chicken flavour, and the cheese and onion flavour, crisps suitable for vegetarians around that time [previously the cheese flavour contained animal rennet]. I wrote to numerous other companies, too, including Pepsi Cola and Warburtons Bakeries. I was very pleased by the manufacturers’ reactions: they couldn’t help enough and thanked me for communicating with them. In those days, I was not familiar with the Internet or I may have added the Report to my Website www.dr-umar-azam.com if I had had it then! My Website was, in fact, set up in the summer of 2001.
That information is obviously now far outdated! In any case, however, in recent weeks, once again, families in my local area have been asking me whether such-and-such a product is suitable for vegetarians. One pupil [I work as a freelance, part-time Tutor in School Subjects] asked me to check whether Ferrero Rocher chocolates are suitable for vegetarians: she had heard a rumour from her friend that they are not. In fact, see the letters below, these chocolates are suitable! I myself was interested in seeing if the Asda range of pot noodles is suitable (they are not at the moment). The confusion seems to derive partly from the fact that whereas some companies have the ‘V’ for ‘vegetarian’ logo on their vegetarian products, others do not exhibit this logo even if their product is indeed vegetarian in nature. I raised this matter with Nestle and they were grateful to me for my suggestion of clarly showing the ‘V’ logo (see letter below). There are always rumours about Coca Cola (that it contains a minute quantity of alcohol) and Pepsi Cola (that it contains ‘pepsin’, or pig’s blood). Both rumours are definitely untrue!
The Report that I have compiled this time will be put on my Site and it will also be sent by e-mail to interested recipients.

3. Letter from FERRERO UK LTD to Dr Azam on 21 June 2007
Dear Dr Azam,
Thank you for your enquiry regarding the suitability of Ferrero Rocher for a vegetarian diet. Please find listed all our products showing their suitability.
The products that are suitable are:
Ferrero Rocher (sold on their own, not in a Prestige pack) Kinder Surprise, Kinder Bueno, Kinder Chocolate (12.5g bar),
Kinder Maxi (21g bar), Tic Tac Mint, Tic Tac Spearmint, Tic Tac Tropical Twist
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that the whey powder of the:
Ferrero Rocher contained in the Prestige Pack, Nutella, and Kinder Happy Hippo is not of animal origin. Also the orange flavour Tic Tac would not be suitable due to the colouring. Mon Cheri contains alcohol.
Yours sincerely,
Signature

5. Letter from NESTLE to Dr Azam on 28 June 2007
Dear Dr. Azam,
Thank you for your recent enquiry.
I can confirm that Jelly Tots are suitable for vegetarians.
Smarties are NOT suitable as we use Cochineal in the production. At the present time we are only usimg this dye in the red, orange and pink Smarties. You should look out for the number E120 on any ingredients list if you wish to avoid eating this colour.
We are aware that many people follow a vegetarian diet for one reason or another, indeed we receive many requests each month for our list of vegetarian products. We appreciate that on pack information is a lot easier to check and we have noted your comments regarding a vegetarian symbol. We are constantly reviewing our labelling policy and will certainly bear your comments in mind.
However, I have pleasure in enclosing our latest Vegetarian list. All products on this list contain no other ingredient of animal origin except for milk, milk products and egg.
Thank you omce again for taking the time and trouble to contact us. Whe hope we have answered some of your questions and we hope you will comtimue to enjoy our products in the future.
Yours sincerely

9. E-Mail from COCA-COLA GREAT BRITAIN to Dr. Azam on 4 JULY 2007
Dear Dr Azam,
Thank you for contacting us in connection with the presence of alcohol and animal derived products in our beverages.
In the manufacture of 'Coca-Cola', alcohol is not an added ingredient and no fermentation takes place. Government and health authorities in nearly 200 countries (which have consistently recognised the beverage Coca-Cola as a non-alcoholic product) rigorously regulate the ingredients and manufacturing process used in the production of 'Coca-Cola'. This includes countries where Islam is the major religion. All products of Coca-Cola Great Britain are non-alcoholic except for 'Schweppes' Lemonade Shandy, which contains 0.5% alcohol.
Also, we wish to assure you that none of our products contain mammal or poultry derivatives. However, since some practising vegetarians avoid fish products as well, it is important to note that the products listed below contain minute traces of fish gelatine, which is used as a stabiliser for beta-carotene colour. The gelatine used in the products listed below is based on scaly fish which is considered halal under Islamic Muslim Law. These products are:
'Coca-Cola' Orange
'Fanta' Orange (and Fanta Z)
'Fanta' Apple Splash
'Five Alive' Tropical Hit Fruit Squash
'Five Alive' Citrus Burst Fruit Squash
'Five Alive' Citrus Whirl
'Lilt' pineapple & grapefruit (and Lilt Z)
'Kia-Ora' Orange Squash (and no added sugar)
'Kia-Ora' Orange & Pineapple (and no added sugar)
'Alive'Orange Cascade
'Minute Maid' Froot Refresh Orange with Passion Fruit
'Schweppes' Slimline Orange Crush
'Schweppes' Deuce Orange and Guava
Beta-Carotene is a substance that occurs naturally in abundance in fruits and vegetables. It is what gives the yellow-orange fruits and vegetables their colour.
Please note that all our products are labelled in full compliance with U.K. food labelling requirements and this does not require us to state that they are suitable for vegetarians.
I trust this letter has allayed your concerns and thank you for taking the time and trouble to share them with us
Kind regards,
Fikayo Famuyiwa

Calf Rennet Clarification:
Rennet per se, is not impermissible.
It is permissible to eat cheese which has rennet from calf rennet though
praiseworthy to refrain from due to a slight difference of opinion viz:
Is Whey Rennet Haraam? (no!)

13. Letter from WARBURTONS BAKERIES on 12 July 2007
Dear Dr Azam
Thank you for contacting Warburtons.
As requested, please find enclosed a list of Warburtons products which do not contain any dairy. Please be aware that some of these products are produced in a bakery which uses dairy in other products.
I would like to reassure you, we son’t use alcohol in any of our products.
Yours sincerely
WARBURTONS LIMITED

CONCUSION
This HALAL INGREDIENTS REPORT is mainly of relevance to the United Kingdom. However, this is not to say that it will not be relevant to readers in other countries (Coca Cola, for example, is sold universally). Also, this report will be of value for a limited time, a number of months, for instance. Formulae of consumer foodstuffs are constantly changing, as manufacturers such as Walkers take care to point out, so the purchaser should always read the ingredients or look out for the ‘V’ for approved by the Vegetarian Society sign. Also, there are thousands of companies manufacturing foodstuffs, so this Report can contain details from no more than a nominal handful.
If readers in other countries are interested in producing a ‘Halal Ingredients Report of their own, then I will be happy to assist in any way possible, to compile the Report with technical accuracy, as well as making it pleasing to the eye.
