question Is the monodiglycerides in bread halal?
or what source does this ingredient come from if it is found in breads
answer : Mono and diglycerides are types of fat that are used to prevent water and oil from separating. They are found in a wide variety of products including baked foods, peanut butter, margarine, and shortening. Mono and diglycerides come from animal or vegetable sources. When they come from vegetable sources, they are Halal. When they come from animal sources, they may be Haram. More information is needed to find out if they are Halal. If the mono and diglycerides come from an animal that is slaughtered according to Islamic law (Zabihah), and the preparation that follows is Halal, then they are Halal. Halal consumers should avoid products containing mono and diglycerides unless they are labelled as 100% vegetable mono and diglycerides.

good advice brother have breads that state suitable for vegetarians, Mono and diglycerides are not only found in bread but alot of foods so best to avoid unless it has the V symbol. Jazakallah for the information  |

I think you mean yeast. Nothing to worry about its safe. It is used to help the dough to rise and shine.
As far as the mono diglycerides are concerned i remember before every single bread had the 'v' sign i used to pick up all the different branded packets of bread at the supermarket and examine the ingredients like a right whally. None of the breads used to clarify what source of mono and diglycerides was used ie vegetable or animal based hence they used to be doubtfull. Only a few brands in those days specified that the bread was suitable of vegetables. This was approximately 10 to 15 years ago. Prior to that everything was in E no. format until the law changed things to be as they are.
Since then with the rising number of Muslims writing to the Bread manufacturers and the rising number of health concious freaks and the various vegetarian societies in this country, all the bread companies mention and have started to show the 'suitable for vegetarians' sign.
I wonder if there are some sort of official govt health monitoring bodies that visit food manufacturers and check if the ingredients as stated on the packaging is appropriately maintained as plant derived products must surely be more limited and expensive to derive in comparison to the animal.

brother i was waiting for some issue like this, the bread contains something with alchool, Yes bread does contain something called Yeast,which is also used in the process of beer making. Yeast in itself is not haraam. The yeast acts as a raising agent in bread(makes it puff up or expand). On a side note though ,a very miniscule amount of Alcohol is produced in the process of bread making as a result of the yeast and sugars(from i think Carbon Dioxide) reacting,but this Alcohol is usually always burnt off/away leaving the smell that is unique to bread. Any such fractional amounts of Alcohol are not classed as Haraam due to being naturally produced and not man made for the purpose of intoxication/luxury/misuse etc. The fact that such Alcohol being almost non exhistant(very fractional,if any) thereby not being enough to toxicate,makes bread permissable to consume. Sorry if i frightened anyone,just thought i'd share. Do NOT stop eating bread due to this reason,as it is permissable(as long as its vegetarian based). |

Sorry if i frightened anyone,just thought i'd share. Do NOT stop eating bread due to this reason,as it is permissable(as long as its vegetarian based). Firstly: Alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature than water; Water evaporates at 100 degrees Celsius or higher, whilst alcohol evaporates at 78 degrees Celsius or higher. It is true that alcohol is naturally produced when dough is made. Even when you make the dough for roti and keep it at a place to rise, alcohol is naturally formed. This alcohol gets evaporated when the roti is baked due to the high temperature. In the bread industry people may delibirately put alcohol to the bread-mix; So the mix then contains more alcohol than naturally would be formed. When this bread-mix is eventually baked all the alcohol (the naturally formed alcohol as well as the delibirately put alcohol) is evaporated due to the high temperature. I have heard that some Ulema say that the alcohol (which is delibirately put) has come into contact with the bread so the bread has become impure. Other Ulema say that it is permissible.
