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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Amino acids | L-Cysteine (E910, E920) can be haram if from human hair; synthetic is halal. Source must be verified [5]. | — | Mashbooh | — | |
Excipients (general) | Many common excipients like gelatin, magnesium stearate, and stearic acid have high halal risk due to animal-derived default sources [2]. | — | Non-halal | — | |
Fermentation-derived ingredients (e.g., Xanthan gum, Gellan gum) | Fermentation medium must be verified to ensure no pork peptone was used [2, 4]. | — | Mashbooh | — | |
Lipids for drug delivery (e.g., Glycerin, Fatty acids) | Glycerin (E422) is source-critical (porcine is haram); fatty acids (E470a, E470b, E471, Polysorbates E431-E436) can be animal-derived and require source verification [2, 4]. | — | Non-halal | — | |
Pharmaceutical polymers (EUDRAGIT) | Generally synthetic, low risk, but processing aids should be verified [2]. | — | Compliant | — |

What this supplier means for buyers
Evonik Nutrition & Care, as a speciality chemicals group in the pharma sector, faces significant halal compliance challenges, particularly with its lipids for drug delivery and general excipient portfolio. Ingredients like glycerin (E422) and various fatty acid derivatives (e.g., Polysorbates E431-E436) are high-risk due to potential animal (especially porcine) origins, requiring stringent source verification for buyers targeting MY, AE, and SA markets [2, 4]. Amino acids, such as L-Cysteine (E910, E920), also present a medium risk if derived from non-halal sources [5]. While pharmaceutical polymers are generally low risk, the company's overall position for Muslim-majority markets remains unassessed, indicating a critical need for detailed ingredient audits and potential certification to meet market requirements.
