About Antioxidant Additives

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).

✓ Source: Plant/Synthetic

This additive can be produced from either plant sources or through chemical synthesis. Both production methods result in a halal product. The final product is identical regardless of the manufacturing method used.
