The detail
Opened the IFANCA Halal Shopper's Guide to Ingredients on 2026-11-02. The page states it is not a comprehensive list and does not name leek or Allium porrum. That miss is not a ruling. Prepared leek dishes (soups, quiches) may carry other ingredients; check those names on the pack. Classification remains insufficient-evidence.
