Do halal capsules need to avoid dairy ingredients?

Whether halal capsules avoid dairy ingredients depends on the specific source of raw materials and production methods, with the core being whether they can completely eliminate contamination and non halal risks. The following is a breakdown explanation:

1. Dairy products themselves are not absolutely prohibited, but their sources need to be strictly controlled
Principle allows: Milk and derivatives (such as lactose and whey protein) produced by halal slaughtered animals such as cows and sheep are themselves Halal raw materials.
Key prerequisite: It is necessary to ensure that the milk source is not mixed with pig derived additives (such as pig bone calcium phosphate) or alcohol fermentation processes (such as certain lactic acid milk flavorings).
There are three high-risk links in the production chain.

2. Specific threats in the risk process

3. It is recommended to actively avoid situations in practice
Exporting to the Middle East/Southeast Asia: Local halal certification agencies (such as MUI in Indonesia and JAKIM in Malaysia) strongly reject dairy containing drugs due to difficulties in tracing cow slaughter compliance.
When there is doubt about the ingredients: If lactose, casein, and other plant alternative sources (such as starch based fillers) are not clearly labeled, it is safer to replace them directly.
Allergen label conflict: Labeling "milk containing ingredients" will force Muslim consumers to verify halal authenticity and weaken market trust.

4. The only condition for safe use of dairy products
Simultaneously meet the following requirements:
Raw materials: The milk source has obtained authoritative halal certification (such as IFANCA or domestic provincial-level Islamic Association standards), and the supplier exclusively produces halal products;
Production: The entire process of capsules is completed on a dedicated halal production line, and each batch is tested for zero alcohol residue.
