How do you know if a product is really halal? 🛒✅
Check these 5 things before it goes in your cart:
1️⃣ The certifier, not just the symbol. A crescent moon alone means very little. Look for a recognized halal certification body on the pack.
2️⃣ Hidden animal ingredients. Gelatin, whey, enzymes, glycerin and L-cysteine often come from animal sources. If the source isn't named, don't assume.
3️⃣ Shared lines and facilities. Cross-contamination with non-halal products can affect halal status.
4️⃣ Alcohol in flavourings. Vanilla extract and natural flavourings can use alcohol as a carrier. Choose alcohol-free versions.
5️⃣ Read it every single time. Formulations change without warning. Halal is the floor; tayyib (wholesome) is the standard.
💾 Save this for your next grocery run and share it with someone who shops halal in Canada 🇨🇦
