Antioxidants (E300–E399) prevent food from deteriorating due to oxidation, which can cause rancidity and discolouration. The majority are derived from plant or synthetic sources (such as Vitamin C/E306 or Vitamin E/E307) and are halal. A few, like E322 (Lecithin), can be sourced from either soy (halal) or eggs/animal fat (requires verification).
This additive is derived from plant sources, which are inherently permissible (halal) in Islamic dietary law. Plant-based food additives include extracts from fruits, vegetables, seeds, roots, and algae. They do not require special halal certification as they contain no animal-derived components.
