How to read this tool. An E-number only describes what an additive does, not what it is made from. Entries marked Mashbooh depend on the specific raw material and process a manufacturer uses — this checker cannot see inside a supplier's ingredient, so treat it as a starting point, not a certificate. If a product you make or import contains a Mashbooh or Haram-flagged additive, our team can review the supplier documentation and confirm its status as part of a certification application.
