Is Berry Pastry (360g) Halal?
HARAM
 **Carmine (E120)** — HARAM
 **E471** — MUSHBOOH
 **E481** — MUSHBOOH
 **E472e** — MUSHBOOH
This berry pastry lists carmine (E120), a red colour made from cochineal insects. The majority view among the Hanafi, Shafi'i, Hanbali and Ja'fari schools does not permit it, so this is not suitable to buy. The emulsifiers E471, E481 and E472e also have plant-or-animal source doubt, but carmine (E120) is the deciding issue here.
**Health:** ★★☆☆☆ — Sugary filled pastry with several additives — a simpler bakery bun would be a cleaner pick.
**Allergens:** Contains wheat and egg. May contain milk.
**Processing:** Ultra-processed
**Sugar:** Moderate — normal for filled pastries
**Salt:** Low — minor for a sweet pastry
**Vegan:** Contains animal ingredients
