Is Milk Chocolate Halal?
HALAL
 **Carmine (E120)** — HARAM
 **E476** — MUSHBOOH
This is not suitable because the label explicitly lists carmine (E120). Carmine is a red colouring taken from cochineal insects, and the majority of scholars do not allow it in food. Note: the Maliki school permits this, but we follow the cautious majority view. The label also includes E476, whose source can vary, but carmine alone is enough to make this a clear avoid.
**Health:** ★☆☆☆☆ — Sweeter and more additive-heavy than most chocolate bars — a darker chocolate would be a cleaner swap.
**Allergens:** Contains milk, soy and gluten.
**Processing:** Ultra-processed
**Sugar:** High — on the high side even for filled chocolate
**Vegan:** Contains animal ingredients
