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: Synthetic

This additive is synthetically manufactured through chemical processes, not derived from any living organism. Synthetic additives are generally considered halal as they do not contain animal-derived ingredients. The manufacturing process uses mineral or chemical precursors.
