In Islamic jurisprudence, Muslims are forbidden from doing certain things. Those things are referred to as ‘haram’ in Islam.
Allah has set certain limits and boundaries. Muslims cannot cross those limits. These limits are mentioned in Quran and hadith, and include not only acts, but also things which are prohibited for Muslims to consume or make use of them.
Allah has issued a threat to the one who transgresses these limits. He says in the Quran. “And whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, and transgresses His limits, He will cast him into the Fire, to abide therein; and he shall have a disgraceful torment.” Quran, 4:14 Thereafter, it is a duty of every Muslim man and woman to obey the limits set by Quran and Sunnah. There are various occasions in the life of Prophet (PBUH) where he (PBUH) mentioned the importance of refraining from prohibited things and acts.
For instance, he (PBUH) once said. “Whatever you have been prohibited to do, avoid it, and whatever you have been commanded to do, do as much of it as you can.” (Sahih Muslim, Kitaab al-fadaa’il, Hadith no.
130) Generally speaking, there is a wide range of acts and things which are prohibited, and all of them are written in Quran and mentioned in Sunnah. Among other things, Allah had also specified what Muslims can eat and what they cannot eat. Allah had said in Quran. “O you mankind!
Eat of what is on earth, Lawful and good; and do not follow the footsteps of the devil, for he is to you an avowed enemy.” (Quran, 2:168) For instance, Allah has mentioned in the Quran that Muslims cannot eat the meat of a dead animal or that of a pig, dead or alive. Thereafter, it is important for Muslims to consume food that does not contain ingredients from one of the prohibited lists of items. In light of this, it is pertinent that Muslims should know which food items contain haram ingredients so that they can avoid them. Following is the list of items which contain haram ingredients: 1. Japanese cuisine: It is necessary that you check the description of food that you are ordering in a restaurant. Most of the Japanese food items make use of ‘Soy sauce’, and it contains alcohol.
A comprehensive list of Halal and Haram ingredients starting with the letter C. The list contains common uses of the ingredients in the food/medicine/cosmetic industries, sources and halal and haram status. Caffeine (Halal) The world’s primary source of caffeine is the coffee “bean” (the seed of the coffee plant), from which coffee is brewed.
Other haram ingredients include Mirin which also uses alcohol. Instant Fried Tofu: Often, Chinese shops sale precooked frozen tofu, which is fried in pork fat to retain its crispiness. Cheese Fondue: It is a Swiss dish which makes use of white wine or alcohol.

Spirit Vinegar: Alcohol and products containing alcohol are haram, even if the alcohol has evaporated in the end. Thereafter, spirit vinegar is haram.
However, if alcohol is not used in the making of vinegar, then it is halal. One should check the description of ingredients before buying to make sure. 5.Jell-O: It is common knowledge that Jell-O contains gelatin, a protein derived from the collagen present in pig bones, skin and connective tissues. Marshmallows: Again, marshmallows contain gelatin, so they are haram. However, ‘vegan marshmallows’ are also available which are halal and can easily be substituted for regular marshmallows. Potato Chips: Some potato chips are flavored with powdered cheese, which contains casein, whey or animal derived enzymes.
Cake Mix: Some readymade cake mixes make use of pork fat. Make sure to check the ingredients list before buying one. Red Sweets: Red or strawberry flavored sweets are often dyed with food coloring called carmine. Carmine is made from dead crushed up beetles. It comes about when the insects are boiled with sodium carbonate or ammonia, which then produces the attractive, bright red dye.
Therefore, it is advised to see the list of ingredients before buying.
Due to the complexity of tracing the source of various ingredients of which a food or a drink is made up of, many halal conscious Muslim consumers look for a list of grocery items that would facilitate them selecting halal items for consumption. A few lists and some books enumerating Halal/Haram status of items for Muslim consumption have been in circulation amongst the Muslims in the USA. While the intentions of the compilers of such lists/books cannot be doubted; the fact remains that such list/books become out dated soon after their publication. The products researched today enjoying the halal status may change anytime to haram upon the inclusion of one, two or many haram ingredients due to formulation change and/or for economic consideration. In absence of any understanding and/or contract with the manufacturer, haram ingredients find their way into the so called halal items without any notice to the Muslim consumers.
The manufacturer is obligated to list the name of ingredients of an item on the label, but he is not obligated to include only halal ingredients. Thus a product included under Halal category in the list or book today may become haram tomorrow and yet Muslims continue to buy and consume such (haram) products (assuming them halal according to the list or book). There are 5.5 million Jews in the USA, and an estimated 16% Jewish households follow kosher guidelines. Nonetheless, there are more than 23,000 items that are certified Kosher with Kosher symbol on them for convenience.
There are more than eight million Muslims in the USA and an estimated 75% of the Muslim households follow halal guidelines in one form or other. Because the Muslim consumers have failed to exert pressure on the manufacturer, the term Halal is rather unknown, leave alone the compliance of Halal standards. With the ready made list or book of Halal/Haram food items, the manufacturers are getting free promotion (advertisement) of their products without any obligation of compliance with Halal standards. Besides the (halal) status of such product can be changed without any notice and Muslims continue to buy such products still assuming them halal. Considering the buying power of Muslim food dollars in the USA (about ten billion dollars annually), Muslims should speak out to the manufacturers for the compliance of Halal standards. A Muslim organization has come up with 'Halal Slide Guide' enumerating the Halal/Haram status of the most commonly used ingredients (not products).
This guide enables Muslims to check all the ingredients on the label, determine their Halal/Haram status and then select the item if all the ingredients are halal. This is a fool-proof device enabling Muslims to make halal selection based on the ingredients which by law are listed on a food package. For a more permanent solution, Muslims should call and/or write to the manufacturers and insist on producing items complying halal standards. Manufacturers can be referred to qualified Halal certifying agencies for Halal certification. The demand and magnitude of Muslim consumers can easily convince manufacturers for halal production. Once a manufacturer finds a halal market niche and cater to the Muslim consumers with halal certification and halal symbol, other competitors may follow. Consequently a whole array of halal products with halal certification and halal symbol for easy selection will, insha'llah, be found in the US supermarkets.
A concerted effort to promote halal is needed indeed. This is a challenge and an opportunity.
Reprinted with the permission from the book, Islamic Dietary Concepts And Practices by M.M. I liked your article. Its surprising that inspite of a huge muslim population and muslim consumer market why the manufacturers are not aiming to target it. I'm sure once the halal label is out in market, many muslims will prefer to buy halal labeled porducts and hence will increase the sales of that particular product.One of the reason I can think of is the halal standards are not clearly defined for the manufacturers to follow and many ingredients fall under mushboo category which will not clearly make a product halal.
