⚠️ CRITICAL FOOD COMPLIANCE AUDIT REQUIRED
Pepsin & Pancreatin Enzymes
Food Additive Code: Enzymes | Standard Classification: OIC/SMIIC 1:2019
1. Technical Overview & Food Applications
Porcine pepsin is a legacy industrial protease used for protein breakdown. Even microscopic residues in processing tanks permanently taint food products under Shariah law.
Primary Food Applications: Protein hydrolysates, infant nutrition formulas, beer chill-proofing, savory yeast extracts.
2. Halal Compliance & Critical Non-Conformance Vectors
Hidden Biological & Solvent Risks
Porcine stomach mucosa (swine pepsin) and porcine pancreas glands
Approved Halal Alternatives
Fungal Protease (Aspergillus oryzae), Papain (Papaya), Bromelain (Pineapple)
3. Scientific Auditing & Testing Protocol
| Audit Metric | Circle H Food Verification Specification |
|---|---|
| International Standard Verdict | Zero tolerance under all Islamic standards; porcine enzymes render entire food batch Mutanajjis |
| Laboratory Testing Protocol | Enzyme kinetic assay, immunological ELISA porcine screen & DNA trace analysis |
| Chain of Custody & Abattoir Audit | 100% verified Islamic slaughter (*Dhabihah*) traceability for ruminant derivatives; complete avoidance of porcine slaughterhouse co-products. |
| Cross-Contamination & Solvent Limits | Strict limit on residual ethanol in finished food (<0.5% or <0.1% per national standards); verified non-alcoholic flavor carriers. |
