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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fermented ingredients (e.g., enzymes, some vitamins) — | Fermentation processes require verification of the culture medium to ensure no porcine-derived peptones or other non-halal animal inputs are used [2, 6, 7]. | — | MashboohAI-inferred | — | |
Glycerin — | While Palsgaard specifies plant-based products, glycerin can be animal-derived (tallow) or plant-derived; plant-derived glycerin is the halal alternative [2, 3]. | — | MashboohAI-inferred | — | |
Plant-based emulsifiers — | As plant-based, these are generally low risk, but specific processing aids or carriers must be verified [1]. | — | Compliant (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Stabilizers (plant-based) — | Similar to emulsifiers, plant-based stabilizers are generally low risk, but processing aids need verification [1]. | — | Compliant (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Stearic acid — | Stearic acid can be tallow-derived; plant-derived (palm or vegetable) is the halal alternative [2]. | — | MashboohAI-inferred | — |

What this supplier means for buyers
Palsgaard A/S, as a producer of plant-based emulsifiers and stabilizers, holds active halal certifications from IFANCA and JAKIM (Malaysia), which is a strong positive for market access in MY and other Muslim-majority markets that recognize these certifiers. However, the assessment of raw material inputs highlights critical control points. Specifically, fermented ingredients and materials like glycerin (E422) and stearic acid (E570) are high-risk due to potential animal-derived sources or non-halal fermentation media [1, 2, 4, 7]. Buyers should request detailed halal evidence for these specific inputs, focusing on the origin of fatty acids and the composition of fermentation media, to ensure full compliance with the standards recognized by JAKIM and IFANCA.
