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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Excipients (e.g., Magnesium stearate, Glycerin) — | These are critical control points in pharmaceuticals; source (plant vs. animal) and processing must be verified. Porcine-derived ingredients are haram [1, E422, E470b]. | — | Non-halal (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Fermentation-derived ingredients (e.g., Xanthan gum E415, Gellan gum E418) — | The culture medium used for fermentation must be verified to ensure no pork-based peptone was used [1, E415, E418]. | — | MashboohAI-inferred | — | |
Plant-based proteins — | Generally halal, but extraction solvents (e.g., ethanol) need to be assessed for residual levels [1]. | — | Compliant (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Plant-based starches — | Generally halal, but processing aids should be verified [1]. | — | Compliant (assessed)AI-inferred | — | |
Polyols (e.g., Maltitol, Xylitol) — | Generally halal as plant-derived, but fermentation media for some (e.g., Erythritol E968) require verification [5]. | — | Compliant (assessed)AI-inferred | — |

What this supplier means for buyers
Roquette Frères, as a supplier of plant-based ingredients for the pharma sector, has several critical control points for halal compliance. While inputs like 'Plant-based starches' and 'Polyols' are generally low risk, the 'Excipients' category, including Magnesium stearate (E470b) and Glycerin (E422), presents a high risk due to potential animal (especially porcine) derivation [1, 4]. Similarly, 'Fermentation-derived ingredients' like Xanthan gum (E415) and Gellan gum (E418) carry a high risk, as the fermentation media must be verified to be free from pork-based peptone [1, 4]. Buyers targeting MY, ID, SA, AE, and TR markets should conduct thorough due diligence on these high-risk ingredients, despite the company's IFANCA certification, as the compliance stack indicates only partial raw material assessment.
