Is Trident spearmint slim pack halal?
Trident spearmint slim pack (Trident) is mushbooh — doubtful — on our automated check. At least one entry on its record is a substance whose raw material can be animal-derived, and the label does not say which source was used, so the answer depends on information the packaging does not carry. The check read its ingredient list — which opens with sorbitol, gum base, xylitol — together with the additives declared on the pack, E102, E133, E321, E322, E420, E421, E422, E950, E951, E955, E967, and resolved every E-number against our additive dataset. A halal mark on this specific pack, or the manufacturer confirming the raw material behind the flagged substance, would settle it — the doubt is about sourcing, not about the substance being forbidden.
