Where it is used: Used in baking powder, baked goods, confectionery and beverages for acidity and body.
Health note: It is considered safe at ordinary levels.
Halal assessment: Its source is a by-product of grape and wine production; it is not alcohol itself, but its origin in the wine industry is regarded as sensitive by some scholarly opinions.
