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 watermelon or Citrullus lanatus. That miss is not a ruling. Prepared watermelon products (juices, candies, or mixes with other flavors or alcohol) can carry other ingredients; check those names on the pack. Classification remains insufficient-evidence.
