Is Äppelkaka Halal?
MUSHBOOH
For this apple cake, the concern is the emulsifier E471 in the cake mix and margarine. It can be made from vegetable oils or animal fat, and the label does not say which source was used. E475 is also a fatty-acid ester with the same source question. Contact the maker and ask whether E471 and E475 are plant-based; a clear vegetable-source or halal mark would settle it.
