E160c HALAL

Paprika Extract, designated by the additive code E160c and featuring the pigments capsanthin and capsorubin, is a deeply vibrant red-orange colorant widely applied to savory snacks, spice blends, and processed meats. Chemically, this oleoresin is extracted strictly from the dried, ground pods of sweet red bell peppers (Capsicum annuum) using standard food-grade solvent extraction protocols.

Due to its pure, one-hundred-percent botanical origin and a processing chain completely devoid of porcine elements, non-Zabiha livestock, or intoxicating residues, Islamic scholars uniformly classify E160c as unconditionally Halal. It is a perfectly safe, natural flavoring and coloring agent.

However, paprika extract is predominantly utilized in complex savory flavor matrices, such as barbeque potato chips, which might simultaneously harbor problematic animal-based flavor enhancers. Relying on the Tayib app guarantees that every single component of the seasoning dust is thoroughly vetted and spiritually compliant.
