Hidden Pig Fat in Everyday Products: What Every Muslim Must Know About E-Codes

Uncovering the Use of Pig-Derived Ingredients in Foods, Medicines, and Cosmetics – A Must-Read Guide for Halal-Conscious Consumers

Why Was the Pig Created?

It is very important for every Muslim to read this

In Europe and nearly all American countries, pork is the primary choice of meat. These countries have many farms dedicated to raising pigs. In France alone, there are more than 42,000 pig farms.

Compared to any other animal, pigs have a very high amount of fat. However, Europeans and Americans try to avoid this harmful fat.

Disposing of this fat became the responsibility of the food departments in these countries, and it became a huge burden for them.

To get rid of it, it was initially burned. After almost 60 years, they began thinking of how to reuse it for profit. Experiments with using this fat in soap production were successful.

At first, products made from pig fat clearly listed "pig fat" in their contents on the label.

But since a large number of their product consumers were from Muslim countries, these countries banned such products, resulting in financial losses for the companies.

In 1857, rifle bullets made in Europe were sent to the Indian subcontinent by sea. Due to moisture from the sea, the gunpowder in the bullets was damaged, rendering the bullets unusable.

Afterward, they began applying a coating of pig fat on the bullets to preserve them. Before using the bullets, this fat coating had to be bitten off with the teeth.

When it was revealed that pig fat was used in these bullets, many soldiers — most of whom were Muslims and some vegetarian Hindus — refused to fight, eventually leading to a civil war.

Realizing the sensitivity, Europeans decided to hide the term pig fat, and instead of writing "pig fat" they started writing "FIM".

Since 1970, people living in Europe know the truth.

When Muslim countries asked these companies whether any animal fat was used in their products and if so, which one, they were told that the fat was from cow or sheep.

Another question was then raised: even if it's from cows or sheep, it is still haram for Muslims if these animals were not slaughtered according to Islamic law.

Thus, the products were once again banned in Muslim countries, causing financial loss to multinational companies.

Eventually, they decided to use a coded language so that only the food department administration would understand what was being used, and ordinary people would remain unaware. This gave rise to the E-Codes system.

Today, these are listed as E-Ingredients on product labels of multinational company goods.

These products include:

Toothpaste, bubble gum, chocolates, all types of sweets, biscuits, cornflakes, toffees, candied foods, multivitamins, and many medicines.

Since all these items are being blindly consumed in Muslim countries, the use of pig-derived ingredients is contributing to a massive rise in shamelessness, cruelty, and sexual exploitation in our society.

Therefore, all Muslims and those who avoid pork are requested to always check the contents list of any daily-use item before purchasing.

Compare the ingredients with the list of E-codes below. If any of the codes listed below are present, definitely avoid the product, because it likely contains pig fat in some form:

List of E-Codes to avoid (may contain pig fat):

E100, E110, E120, E140, E141, E153, E210, E213, E214, E216, E234, E252, E270, E280, E325, E326, E327, E334, E335, E336, E337, E422, E431, E432, E433, E434, E435, E436, E440, E470, E471, E472, E473, E474, E475, E476, E477, E478, E481, E482, E483, E491, E492, E493, E494, E542, E549, E572, E621, E631, E635, E905

Short Summary:

The article discusses how pig fat has been widely used in food and cosmetic products, especially in Western countries. Initially discarded as waste, pig fat was later reused in soap, bullets, and processed foods. Due to religious restrictions, especially in Muslim countries, companies began hiding pig fat under E-codes to avoid detection. These E-coded ingredients are now found in daily-use items like toothpaste, chocolates, sweets, biscuits, and medicines, many of which are unknowingly consumed in Muslim communities.

Conclusion:

Muslims and those avoiding pork are strongly advised to carefully check product labels for hidden animal-based ingredients, especially E-codes known to contain pig fat. Awareness and vigilance are essential to avoid consuming non-halal substances, ensuring both religious compliance and ethical consumption.
