Question
Some sweets contain Bourbon vanilla essence. Are the sweets halaal?
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.
