Opened the IFANCA Halal Shopper's Guide to Ingredients on 2026-11-01. The page states it is not a comprehensive list and does not name zucchini, courgette or Cucurbita pepo. That miss is not a ruling. Prepared zucchini dishes may carry other ingredients; check those names on the pack. Classification remains insufficient-evidence.
