E1000 is cholic acid, also called bile acid. SANHA classifies E1000 as Mushbooh and lists its source as bile acid. No other major halal authority in the source corpus has published a position on E1000. Cholic acid is commercially obtained from animal bile (bovine or porcine) or synthesised from animal cholesterol. The source is rarely disclosed on labels, so the additive should be treated as doubtful unless the product carries a halal certification that confirms the source.
