The detail
Opened the IFANCA Halal Shopper's Guide to Ingredients on 2026-10-30. The page states it is not a comprehensive list and does not name cucumber or Cucumis sativus. That miss is not a ruling. Pickled cucumbers and relishes can carry vinegar, flavourings, or other ingredients; check those names on the pack. Classification remains insufficient-evidence.
