Is Croissant Halal?
HALAL
 **Ethyl alcohol** — HARAM
 **E471** — MUSHBOOH
This croissant is not suitable because the label explicitly lists ethyl alcohol, so the alcohol is a named ingredient rather than an unclear trace from processing. It also contains mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, whose source is not stated, but the decisive issue here is the declared alcohol. Some scholars, including the European Council for Fatwa and Research, Malaysia's halal authority JAKIM, Indonesia's halal council MUI, and Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, allow tiny diluted traces in baked goods; we follow the more cautious view of the UK Halal Monitoring Committee and Mufti Taqi Usmani.
**Health:** ★☆☆☆☆ — Sweeter and more processed than many plain pastries, with palm oil and several additives.
**Allergens:** Contains wheat, milk and egg.
**Processing:** Ultra-processed
**Sugar:** Moderate — typical for filled croissants
**Salt:** Low — low for a sweet pastry
**Vegan:** Vegetarian (contains dairy or eggs)
