Is Raspberry Donut Halal?
HARAM
 **Carmine** — HARAM
This raspberry-filled donut is not suitable because the filling lists natural colours (120, 163), and 120 means carmine (E120), a red dye made from cochineal insects. The majority of scholars do not allow it; only the Maliki school has a more lenient view on insects without flowing blood. If you want a similar donut, choose one coloured with fruit or plant colours instead.

**Allergens:** Contains milk, soy and wheat (gluten).
**Processing:** Ultra-processed
**Sugar:** Moderate — typical for a filled donut
**Salt:** Low — low for sweet bakery items
