Quick Answer
Alternative E-number for gelatin. Must verify the animal source.
Detailed Explanation
What is it?
E428 (Gelatin) is a popular additive.
Why it may be doubtful
Like E441, E428 is simply another code for gelatin. In Western countries, it is overwhelmingly sourced from pig skin or non-zabiha beef bones. Avoid unless the product is certified halal, vegan, or specifies fish gelatin.
Fiqh considerations
General Islamic dietary principles require that ingredients be free from non-Zabiha meat, insects, and intoxicating alcohol.
Practical advice
Always read the latest ingredient label or use the allhalal.info scanner app, as manufacturers frequently change their recipes. Look for certified vegan or halal symbols where possible.
