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 orange or Citrus sinensis. That miss is not a ruling. Juices, marmalades, peel and orange flavourings can carry other ingredients or alcohol-based carriers; check those names on the pack. Classification remains insufficient-evidence.
