Is Bakewell Tart Halal?
HALAL
This Bakewell tart is marked doubtful because E475 is a fatty-acid emulsifier: it can be made from plant oils or animal fat, and the label does not say which. The listed ethanol is in almond flavour, so the practical question here is also whether it remains in the final cake as more than a trace carrier. Contact the maker for plant-source E475 and flavour details; “vegetable” or halal certification would settle it.
