The detail
Opened the IFANCA Halal Shopper's Guide to Ingredients on 2026-10-31. The page states it is not a comprehensive list and does not name lettuce, lettuce leaves, or Lactuca. That miss is not a ruling. Packaged salads or dressings may carry other ingredients; check those names on the pack. Classification remains insufficient-evidence.
