Frequently Asked Questions

What does "mushbooh" mean?

Mushbooh means "doubtful." It's used for ingredients whose halal status depends on details not disclosed on the label, such as the source animal or processing method.

How accurate is the label scanner?

The scanner uses on-device text recognition, which can misread blurry or glossy labels. Always review and correct the extracted text before checking ingredients, and treat results as a starting point rather than a final determination.

Is this an official halal certification?

No. This is an independent, informational resource. For certainty, consult an official halal certification body.

How is the ingredient glossary built?

Entries are compiled from general halal-certification guidance and reviewed periodically. The glossary is a work in progress and grows over time.
