Is Gulrotkake Halal?
HALAL
This carrot cake includes E120, also called carmine, an insect-derived red colour, so it is not suitable for a cautious Muslim shopper; the majority of Hanafi, Shafi’i, Hanbali and Ja’fari scholars prohibit it, while the Maliki school is more lenient. E904 shellac is also present as a glazing agent and is treated differently by certifiers like JAKIM and IFANCA, but E120 is the decisive issue here.
