Vanilla Extract - Halal or Haram ?

While looking at the ingredients of some of the choclates at big stores in Karachi, I found Vanilla Extract in it. When searched on internet via GuideWays.com
http://www.guidedways.com/halalfoodguide.php

You will clearly find that Vanilla Extract is HARAM

Ingredient
Halal Status
Vanilla Extract
Haram
 
 


I felt it my responsibility to inform you to please double check ingredients and E-codes through the above mentioned website. Mobile applications are also available on the same site.

May ALLAH guide us to the right path and help us to abstain from HARAM.

This is just a sharing and not official Fatwaa from anyone. When searching more about Vanilla Extract, I have found it to be a serious issue.

JazakALLAH

    JazakAllah hu khairan for sharing, I think we need to take Fatwa on it, I tried to search but failed. Vanilla Extract is Haram b/c of 35 % alcohol in it but Halal Vanilla Extracts are also available in the market so we have to check which one is used.
    If Haram one is one of the ingredient then we need to contact an Daru Ifta, to check if there is any ruling on the percentage of Extract or if there is any ruling on toxic / non toxic (drunkenness).
