Computed from named public guides — NOT independently scholar-ratified. For doubtful items, consult a scholar you trust. Halalyzer never invents a ruling and never uses AI for the verdict.

Pigment is plant/synthetic. SANHA classifies E160a as Halaal; downgraded to MUSHBOOH only where the carrier (oil or rare gelatin coating) is undisclosed.

Scan it yourself with Halalyzer. Point your camera at any barcode and get this same cited, AI-free verdict in seconds.
