Bismillaahi, Ar-Rahmaani, Ar-Rahiimi

Saat ini kita disuguhi dengan berbagai makanan kemasan yang lezat2 dan berwarna-warni, sampai-sampai kadang-kadang kita lupa bahwa di dalam makanan kemasan itu ditambahkan berbagai bahan tambahan makanan yang bisa jadi berasal dari produk Babi yang bagi para muslim dilarang untuk mengkonsumsinya. Padahal dalam ingredients makanan tersebut hanya ditulis dalam kode-kode atau nama-nama asing.

Pada tabel di bawah ini adalah daftar kode E yang biasa digunakan pada berbagai macam bahan kimia yang akan kita temukan di berbagai makanan kemasan. Waspadailah, Chemical Name yang ditandai dengan bintang (*) dan saya arsir dengan warna kuning (hati-hati), yang merupakan BAHAN SYUBAHAT bagi muslim karena sebagiannya berasal dari produk babi dan bahan yang dilarang lainnya. Semoga Allah melindungi kita dari mengkonsumsi makanan2 yang dilarang-Nya.
