Detailed information
- What it is & how it is made
- A brown caramel produced by a sulphite and ammonia process; it gives cola-type drinks their characteristic colour. It is sourced from sugar (plant-based).
- Where it is used
- Widely used in cola drinks, sauces and some baked goods.
- Health note
- It has been debated with regard to health because of the formation of 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI). It calls for caution from the standpoint of the 'tayyib' (wholesome) principle.
- Halal assessment
- Although its source is plant-based (sugar), it has been left as doubtful because of the production process and the health debate. It is synthetic in origin and contains no animal matter; in that respect no halal obstacle is seen. However, because it is a synthetic colour and because of the health debate, it has been left as doubtful under the 'halal and tayyib' principle; the decision rests with the consumer.
