Is Orange Chocolate Sponge Halal?
HALAL
This sponge has a straightforward vegetarian recipe, with pectins providing the plant-based setting agent rather than gelatin. Lecithins (Soya) and mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids are used for texture, while the label gives no animal-derived flavouring. The bold allergen information and vegetarian claim make the ingredients clear for a Muslim shopper.
