Is Jaffa Cakes Halal?

MUSHBOOH

Bij deze zachte cakejes zit de twijfel vooral in E471. Dat is een vetzuur-emulgator die uit plantaardige olie kan komen, maar ook uit dierlijk vet; het etiket zegt de bron niet. E476 is bij chocolade meestal uit plantaardige castorolie, maar voor E471 blijft verificatie nodig. Vraag de fabrikant of E471 plantaardig is, of kies een verpakking met halal-keurmerk.
