Halal Checker 1.0.7

This application offers a comprehensive list of E-numbers, enabling users to investigate the components of various food products.

Recognized as one of the leading halal checker applications available, its offline functionality and swift data retrieval set it apart. Users can simply enter the E-number in the search bar to access detailed descriptions of the additives present in their products.

The app also includes a diverse array of non-E-numbers, with ongoing efforts to enhance its database. Notably, it provides additional context, showcasing examples of how specific additives are utilized, thereby enriching the user's understanding of product composition.

E-Numbers denote specific food additives utilized in the food industry, standardized by the European Economic Community (EEC) and widely adopted internationally. Many E-numbers may contain undisclosed haram ingredients, particularly those derived from animal and insect sources.

These reference numbers serve as a means for the European Union to identify food additives systematically. Approximately similar identifiers are recognized in regions such as the USA, UK, and Australia. The assignment of E-numbers is conducted by the European Commission following thorough evaluation by the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF), which assesses the safety of food additives within the EU.

Main Features:

• Search Engine: Allows users to search by E-number or code and discover detailed information about the additive type.
• Categorization: E-numbers are classified into three main categories:
  • Halal: Additives that are always permissible for Muslims, indicated by a green color.
  • Haram: Additives that are prohibited for Muslims, highlighted in red.
  • Mushbooh: Additives whose status is uncertain and marked in grey; users are encouraged to investigate the source.
• Check Source: The halal status often hinges on the origin of additives; vegetarian-friendly or vegan products are usually halal and noted in grey.
• Examples of Use: The app includes instances of use that provide users with practical knowledge about each additive’s application.
