Detailed information

What it is & how it is made: A beverage preservative (dimethyl dicarbonate); it provides cold sterilisation. It is synthetic and carries no animal source.
Where it is used: Used to prevent yeast and bacteria in flavoured drinks, iced tea and wines.
Health note: Because it breaks down quickly in the drink, it is considered safe in ordinary use.
Halal assessment: It is synthetic/chemical in origin and contains no animal matter; in that respect no halal obstacle is seen. However, because of the 'halal and tayyib (clean/wholesome)' principle and the health debate, it has been left as doubtful; the decision rests with the consumer.
