The detail
Opened the IFANCA Halal Shopper's Guide to Ingredients on 2026-10-31. The page states it is not a comprehensive list and does not name cilantro, coriander leaves or Coriandrum sativum. That miss is not a ruling. Dried coriander seed has its own row. Sauces and pastes that list cilantro can carry other ingredients; check those names on the pack. Classification remains insufficient-evidence.
