Question
A sweet contains Bourbon vanilla essence which is 35% alcohol. Are such sweets permissible?
Answer
Bourbon vanilla essence contains 35% alcohol, hence is not permissible. These sweets and chocolates contain many ingredients camouflaged with chemical names and e-numbers. We therefore advise abstention from all sweets and chocolates.
