- Plain-language explanation
- E104, or Quinoline Yellow, is a synthetic food coloring used to give foods a bright yellow or greenish-yellow hue. It is made from chemical compounds and does not come from animal or plant sources. Major halal certification bodies like JAKIM, MUI, MUIS, ESMA, and HFA generally consider it halal because it is synthetic and free from non-halal contaminants. However, it is always best to check for a halal certification label on the product to ensure overall compliance.
