Why this verdict

E354 is calcium tartrate, a calcium salt of tartaric acid used as an acidity regulator and emulsifier. SANHA classifies E354 as Mushbooh because tartaric acid is commonly a winemaking by-product, and the calcium component should also be verified. SANHA is the only authority in the source corpus to publish a position. E354 is doubtful by default; check for halal certification.
