Is Roast Chicken Gravy halal?
Roast Chicken Gravy (Tesco) 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 Water, Cornflour, Yeast Extract. Open Food Facts declares no E-numbered additive for this product, so the verdict rests on the ingredient text alone. 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.
Automated classification, not a religious ruling. No scholar or certification body has reviewed this assessment — always check the product's own halal certification.
