Why this verdict
E413 is tragacanth (gum tragacanth), a plant gum from the sap of Astragalus shrubs, used as a thickener and emulsifier in sauces, dressings, and confectionery. SANHA and JAKIM Handbook 2010 classify E413 as halal, while ANIC 2018 classifies it as questionable. MUIS lists E413 as halal, noting it is extracted from the trunk and branches of Astragalus species of the pea family. Because one cited authority is cautious, E413 is doubtful by default.
