The 7-layer stack
Halal Compliance Stack
Every supplier is assessed across seven independent layers. Layers marked "unassessed" are shown honestly — they haven't been proven either way.
Raw-material inputs have been AI-assessed; buyer diligence should verify supplier declarations and halal evidence for each flagged input.
| Input | Why it matters | Source | Status | Flag | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Excipients (e.g., capsule materials) | If probiotics are in capsule form, gelatin (porcine) is a high risk, and other excipients like magnesium stearate or glycerin need source verification [2]. | — | Unknown | — | |
Probiotic cultures | Fermentation media for probiotics may contain pork-based peptone, rendering the product non-halal [2]. Buyers must ask about the culture medium [7]. | — | Non-halal | — | |
Processing aids | Downstream processing aids used in fermentation must be free from porcine derivatives [7]. | — | Unknown | — |

Halal Intelligence Note
What this supplier means for buyers
BioGaia, as a probiotic manufacturer, operates in a sector with specific halal challenges related to fermentation media. While probiotics are generally considered nutraceuticals, the core issue of potential porcine-derived peptones in the culture medium is a critical control point. Without specific ingredient lists or certifications, their halal position for Muslim-majority markets like Malaysia or Indonesia is unassessed.
