Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

now a days on all the eatables like biscuits, chocolates, milk shakes, cool drinks, ice creams and lots more, the manufacturers are mentioning e-codes. i would like to know what exactly does these e-codes mean. i got to know that the manufacturers are using haraam fat ( pork fat ) as emulsifiers and preservatives and instead of mentioning pork fat, they are printing it as e-codes. we have got few e-codes which we are not supposed to consume. and i dont know whether it is true or not. please please please help me by answering this email. and if the above is true can u please email me the e-codes which we are not suppose to consume.

waiting for ur reply eagerly.

allah hafiz.

Answer:

 

Ecodes on food

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

E-codes are codes sometimes found on food labels, especially in the nations of the European Union (Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, etc.) The code indicates an ingredient used in the making of that food product, and the ‘E’ indicates that it is a "European Union approved" food additive.

 

Beloved Sister, rest assured that the ‘e-codes’ are not a conspiracy of the disbelievers to encourage the believers to consume ‘haraam’ foods; but because there are various languages in the European nations, and each food product has a different name in each particular language….the authorities of those nations have agreed amongst themselves to assign a specific and standard code or ‘E-Code’ for each food or additive as a form of standardization amongst their nations.

 

Although we are neither qualified, nor do have the complete list of ‘e-codes’ used by the European Nations, we do have quite a comprehensive list of ‘e-codes’ normally used for the labeling of food products originating from an European nation.

 

For your easy reference, amongst the list, the ‘e-codes’ for the ‘halaal’ foods or additives are mentioned as ‘halaal’, the ones that are doubtful or we have not been able to find information on are marked with a ‘?’, and the ones which might have an ‘animal origin’ are marked as ‘haraam’.

 

We reiterate again that the list is neither complete, nor are we qualified on this particular subject to determine with absolute certainty its permissibility/impermissibility.
