Why this verdict

E1100 is amylase, an enzyme used to break down starches in bread, beverages, and processed foods. It can be derived from fungi (such as Aspergillus), bacteria, or animal pancreas (including pig pancreas). No major halal authority in the source corpus has published a per-additive position on E1100. Without source disclosure the additive defaults to doubtful unless the product carries halal certification confirming a microbial or plant-derived source.
