Is Candy Halal?

HALAL

![MUSHBOOH](status://MUSHBOOH) **Shellac (E904)** — MUSHBOOH This looks doubtful because the label includes shellac (E904), a shiny coating used on sweets. Shellac comes from the lac insect, so the disagreement is about whether this insect secretion is treated like honey or not. Malaysia's halal authority JAKIM and the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America accept it, and the Maliki school is more lenient, but we take the cautious view. If you want certainty, choose a halal-certified sweet or one without shellac (E904).
