Halal Capsule Identification Guide
1. Plant derived capsules (priority recommendation)
Ingredients: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), cassava starch, carrageenan and other pure plant-based materials.
Advantages: Natural avoidance of animal slaughter disputes, unconditionally recognized by mainstream halal certification bodies worldwide (such as MUI in Indonesia and JAKIM in Malaysia).
2. Animal gelatin capsules (with strict conditions)
| Gelatin Type | Essential Halal Requirements | Proof Mandatory |
| Bovine (Cattle) | • Islamic slaughter: Must include Tasmiya (prayer) & full bleeding• No cross-contamination: Dedicated production lines (zero pork/alcohol contact)• Permitted cattle: Grass-fed, disease-free; excludes pigs/dogs/scavengers | • Slaughterhouse Halal certificate• Bovine species/traceability documents• Facility audit reports |
| Ovine (Sheep/Goat) | • Hand-slaughtered by Muslim workers only• No stunned animals before slaughter (controversial in some markets)• Separate rendering: Bones/skins processed in isolated equipment | • Animal origin certificates• Worker religious compliance affidavits• Equipment segregation logs |
| Marine (Fish) | • Wild-caught or farmed: Permitted species only (excludes poisonous/scavenger fish)• Alcohol-free extraction: Thermal/acid-based processing only• Non-halal additive ban: No pig-derived enzymes or alcohol solvents | • Fishing vessel/farm Halal certification• Solvent test reports (alcohol-free)• Ingredient supplier declarations |
3. Absolutely prohibited capsule types
Pig gelatin capsules: Regardless of the manufacturing process, all are prohibited.
Capsules with questionable ingredients: Any of the following is illegal:
Undisclosed source of glycerol/magnesium stearate (possibly from pigs)
Alcohol solubilizers (such as ethanol, propylene glycol)
Non halal slaughtered animal derived ingredients (such as bovine bone calcium)
4. Key identification actions (mandatory for manufacturers/consumers)
Certification label: The capsule packaging or raw material testing report must have an authoritative Halal logo (such as the China International Association for Standardization, IFANCA, GCC logo).
Ingredient traceability: Gelatin must indicate the animal species and slaughter method (e.g. "beef source (halal slaughter)").
Production statement: The manufacturer promises in writing that the production line has not been disinfected with alcohol and is being produced using specialized equipment.
