Halal Access Partners is not a certification body. Layers marked "Compliant" or "Non-compliant" reflect our assessment based on public documents, uploaded certificates and supplier-submitted evidence — they are not a certifier's ruling. Rows tagged AI-inferred were extracted by our classifier and have not yet been reviewed by a human analyst.
Third-party certificates on file are shown as evidence with their original scope, expiry and issuer — always verify them with the certifier before purchase. See ourmethodology.
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.
| Status | Input | Why it matters | Source | Status | Flag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Food additives (general) — | The halal status of food additives depends on their origin, processing methods, and manufacturing environment, requiring detailed inquiry [1]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Glycerin (Glycerol) — | Glycerin (E422, CAS 56-81-5) is a ubiquitous high-risk ingredient, as its halal status is highly source-dependent, with porcine-derived glycerin being haram [1, 4]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Mono and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471) — | Mono and diglycerides (E471) are high-risk emulsifiers, very commonly derived from animal fats, requiring source verification [2, 4]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Polysorbates (E432-436) — | Polysorbates (e.g., Polysorbate 80, E433) are high-risk due to their fatty acid component, which can be animal-derived, requiring source verification [2, 4, 5]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Stearates (e.g., Magnesium Stearate) — | Stearates can be derived from tallow, requiring verification of the animal source and processing to avoid porcine contamination [2, 4]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Stearic acid — | Stearic acid can be sourced from mixed tallow/palm streams, making segregation critical for halal compliance [2]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — |

What this supplier means for buyers
FACI, as a raw materials manufacturer of stearates and food additives, operates in a high-risk sector for halal compliance. Key inputs like Stearic acid and Stearates are flagged as high-risk because they are frequently derived from animal sources, including potentially porcine tallow, which is haram [1, 2, 7]. Similarly, general food additives, Glycerin, Mono and diglycerides (E471), and Polysorbates (E432-436) present significant halal challenges due to their source-dependent nature and common animal origins [1, 2, 4, 5]. For European B2B buyers targeting Muslim-majority markets (e.g., MY, ID, SA, AE, TR, GCC), FACI's 'unassessed' halal position indicates a critical audit gap. Buyers must request comprehensive halal certification from a recognized body for each specific product, ensuring all raw material sources and manufacturing processes are verified as halal, particularly for fatty acid derivatives.
