Is Madeira Bar Cake Halal?
HARAM
This cake is marked impermissible because the label explicitly lists vanilla essence. In packaged cakes, essence commonly means an alcohol-based flavor carrier unless the label says alcohol-free, and every intoxicant is forbidden in Islam per Quran 5:90-91 and the Prophet’s hadith. The emulsifiers E471, E477 and E481 also have source doubt, but the alcohol concern is already enough here.
