Curcumin
Halal
- Typical source
- Turmeric (plant)
- Plain-language explanation
- E100, or curcumin, is a natural yellow pigment derived from the root of the turmeric plant, which is a common spice. Since it is plant-based, curcumin is universally considered halal by all major certification bodies like JAKIM, MUI, and MUIS without any restrictions. Its halal status is not dependent on its source because it does not come from animal or alcohol origins.
