HIDDEN HARAM INGREDIENTS WE FLAG
Many haram ingredients hide under unfamiliar names on labels. ZabihaChecker exposes them all:
- Gelatin (pork-derived) — in gummies, marshmallows, cereals, capsules
- Carmine / E120 / Natural Red 4 — crushed insect dye in juices, yogurts, candy
- L-Cysteine — human hair or hog-derived dough conditioner in commercial bread
- Shellac / Confectioner's Glaze — insect resin coating on candy and fruit
- Pork enzymes — hidden in cheese-flavored chips and dairy products
- Animal rennet — in most US commercial cheeses
- Mono & Diglycerides — emulsifier that may be pork-derived
- Vanilla Extract — alcohol-based solvent
- Wine Vinegar — alcohol-derived
- Non-Zabiha meat — all conventional US grocery and restaurant meat

MUSHBOOH ALERTS
Some products fall in the "doubtful" zone — not clearly halal or haram. ZabihaChecker flags these so you can make an informed decision based on your own madhab and level of caution.

ZABIHA STANDARD
ZabihaChecker follows the strict Zabiha standard — meaning:
- Meat must be hand-slaughtered by a Muslim with Bismillah
- All animal-derived ingredients must come from Zabiha-slaughtered animals
- No alcohol in any form, including extracts and solvents
- No pork or pork by-products in any quantity
- No insect-derived ingredients (carmine, shellac)

BUILT FOR MUSLIMS IN THE USA
All product data is based on US formulations and ingredient lists. The same brand may be halal in another country but haram in the US — ZabihaChecker accounts for this.

Data is regularly updated as manufacturers change formulations.

Note: ZabihaChecker is a research and reference tool. Always verify with halal certification bodies for the most current information. When in doubt, look for IFANCA, ISWA, or other recognized halal certification logos on packaging.
