Is Excellence 85% cacao halal?
Excellence 85% cacao (LINDT SPRUNGLI SAS) comes out halal on our automated check: every ingredient and every declared additive on its Open Food Facts record was matched against our dataset, and none of them is a substance the halal dietary rules restrict. The check read its ingredient list, which opens with Pâte de cacao, cacao maigre, beurre de cacao. Open Food Facts declares no E-numbered additive for this product, so the verdict rests on the ingredient text alone. That is a statement about the ingredients as declared, not a halal certificate: certification covers a specific product, from a specific plant, on a specific line. A halal mark on the pack itself is what turns this into a guarantee.
Automated classification, not a religious ruling. No scholar or certification body has reviewed this assessment — always check the product's own halal certification.
What we checked
Nothing on Excellence 85% cacao (LINDT SPRUNGLI SAS) was flagged. Every ingredient in its list was compared against our suspicious-ingredient keywords in eight languages, and every E-number declared on the pack was resolved against our additive dataset; neither pass produced a restricted or source-ambiguous match. A clean pass is a statement about the declared composition — undeclared processing aids and shared production lines are outside what any ingredient list can show.
