Tylenol not suitable for halal diet

Assalamualaikum.

I recently found out tylenol contains an ingredient called shellac, which is a glaze coating derived from bugs. I know many Muslims are unaware of this as I know many Muslim doctors who recommend taking it. I have tried to look for an alternative acetaminophen, but all the store brand ones have streaic acid which may be derived from cows, pigs, or plants. Does anyone know which brand of acetaminophen would be halal?

Mango Delight

Ingredients

  • Plain biscuits (such as Marie or tea biscuits)
  • Fresh mangoes (some pureed with a little sugar, some cut into small chunks)
  • 475 ml cream (heavy or whipping cream)
  • Milk (just a splash to soften the biscuits)
  • Almonds & pistachios (chopped, for garnish)
  • Sugar (to taste, blended into the puree)

Assembly Instructions

1.Prep the Mango Cream:

Divide the 475 ml of cream. Keep about three-quarters of it separate to use later. Blend the remaining one-quarter of the cream with the sweetened mango puree.

2.Build the Biscuit Base:

Arrange a flat, even layer of plain biscuits at the bottom of your serving dish.

3.Soften the Biscuits:

Drizzle a little milk evenly over the biscuits to help them soften up.

4.Add the First Layers:

Pour the creamy mango puree mixture evenly over the biscuit base. Once spread, drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the plain cream you set aside over the puree.

5.Add the Mango Chunks:

Spread the fresh mango chunks evenly across the dish, making sure to save a few pieces for the final garnish.

6.Swirl and Decorate:

Drizzle a little bit of plain mango puree on top. Use a skewer, toothpick, or the tip of a knife to gently swirl the puree into the cream in a circular motion to create a marbled pattern.

7.Garnish and Chill:

Finish the dessert by garnishing the top with the reserved mango chunks, along with chopped almonds and pistachios. Chill in the fridge for a few hours to let it set before serving.

Kosher and Halal !?

As the title suggests

Wanted to know if this is possible?

Seems opposite - Laws for Kosher don't align with Halal. For the latter, the name of their god is taken.

No hate please

Would like a logical explanation.

Obviously there is no science to either certification.

Attitude Salad Kits Not Halal- Hidden Bacon

I bought this salad kit recently from walmart that is from a canadian brand. It’s caeser salad and looked normal, not a single image of bacon included on the picture. When I brought it home and opened it, the dressing had “natural bacon” pieces inside. This is nearly false advertising since they didn’t include any visuals on the packaging, and mentioned it in fine print writing on the package. I obviously missed that since I chose it quickly in the store when shopping. I am tired of brands hiding bacon in so many products and being discreet about it. It should mandatory to clearly show images and have clear wording when there are any meat or animal ingredients in a product. There are many vegetarians who would eat caesar salad as well as muslims who don’t eat pork. This is not the first time I have seen bacon included in a Cesar salad when it was not necessary. Any other brand I have seen would make it vegetarian or would be very clear that there was bacon in it.

Tired of searching Google and Instagram to find Halal restaurants in Bangalore?

I have been facing this problem myself, so I started building Halal Hub, a directory focused on halal businesses in Bangalore. It's still growing, and you can also refer or add halal restaurants and businesses that aren't listed yet. As a thank you, you will earn loyalty points for contribution.

If anyone wants to try it, let me know and I will be happy to share the link.

Chef with no professional halal experience

Hello friends!

I do production cooking, and we have a single Halal meal as of today. I don't choose the food, but I do prepare it.

If it looks like I'm taking it too seriously, it's because others in my kitchen do not take these things seriously enough. I'm also on the spectrum, so while I'm an atheist myself, I have incredibly rigid moral and ethical self imposed rules that accept nothing less.

I washed my hands and arms, and I always wear nitrile gloves. I used a cutting board intended for chicken, that I know hasn't been used in about a year for even chicken. The knives were sharpened, replaced and cleaned this week, and no pork has crossed the knife to my knowledge, as most pork is ready to heat. I was in a separate area of the kitchen that is inconvenient for meat in general, which is also my usual prep space, sanitized with no recent pork or alcohol on the surface/in the area. I took pictures of it being stored separate, and wrapped separate. On parchment doubled over, not even touching the sheet pan. We don't make bacon in the smallest ones. Heavily labeled. I took pictures if they wish to ask to see.

Am I being too much? Is this not enough? Google isn't terribly helpful anymore with the AI answers.
