Halal Food Checker - Is it Halal?
Instantly check the halal status of food additives and E-codes with our comprehensive database.
Why Use a Halal Food Verifier?
Many packaged foods contain hidden ingredients like emulsifiers, gelatin, and food coloring. The source of these ingredients determines their Halal status. Some additives might be Halal in one country (plant-based) but Haram in another (animal-based). A halal food check app ensures you never have to guess again, helping you make confident and permissible dietary choices.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How do I check if food is Halal?
Use our Halal Food Checker. Enter the ingredient name or E-number in the search bar. The tool will instantly filter the database to verify if the additive is Halal, Haram, or Mushbooh (doubtful).
Q2: What does Mushbooh mean?
Mushbooh means "doubtful" or "questionable." An ingredient is classified as Mushbooh if its source is unclear. For example, Glycerol (E422) can be derived from either plant fats (Halal) or pork fat (Haram). Unless the source is specified, it remains doubtful and should be avoided.
Q3: Is this Halal food verifier free?
Yes, our Halal Food Checker is 100% free to use. The database is based on widely accepted Islamic guidelines and is updated to provide accurate information for Muslims in the USA, UK, and worldwide.
Q4: Are all E-numbers bad?
No. E-numbers are simply codes for food additives approved for use in Europe. Many are derived from natural, plant-based sources and are completely Halal (e.g., E100 Turmeric, E406 Agar).
