The detail
Opened the IFANCA Halal Shopper's Guide to Ingredients on 2026-10-29. The page states it is not a comprehensive list and does not name broccoli or Brassica. That miss is not a ruling. Prepared broccoli dishes (cheese sauce, soups, frozen mixes with butter or seasoning) can carry other ingredients such as rennet-set cheese, animal fats, or wine; check those names on the pack. Classification remains insufficient-evidence.
