Is pectin halal

Answer 1

Of course, it is halal. Pectin is a substance extracted from plants and fruits. So I don't see any reason why it would not be halal.

Read more about pectin on wikipedia.org.

Allah had said that pork, blood, wine, hard liquors, and meat that is not sacrificed in the name of Allah is haram.

But we Muslims tend to make every other food haram.

I told my friend that I eat pop tarts. She asked what is pop tarts, and I said that it is a kind of pastry with jelly inside it. Then she said that jelly has pectin and pectin is haram.

First of all, she doesn't have her facts straight. Pectin isn't haram. Also, jelly don't have pectin usually. Jello has pectin. And jello and jelly are two different things.

Beware of these kinds of people. They are trying to stop us from eating everything.

Answer 2

Yeah, pectin is definitely halal.

It has similar properties as Gelatin but is obtained from a plant source whereas gelatin is driven from an animal source.
