The detail
Opened the IFANCA Halal Shopper's Guide to Ingredients on 2026-11-06. The page states it is not a comprehensive list and does not name papaya or Carica papaya. That miss is not a ruling. Dried papaya, juices and enzyme preparations may carry other ingredients; check those names on the pack. Classification remains insufficient-evidence.
