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 kale or Brassica oleracea. That miss is not a ruling. Kale chips, salads and juices can carry other ingredients or dressings; check those names on the pack. Classification remains insufficient-evidence.
